UPCOMING CLASSES

Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

Emergency Medical Technicians are integral and indispensable members of our coastal emergency medical services, providing life-saving emergency medical care to the sick and injured.  The 2024 EMT class starts in January.

Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)

There will be no EMR class in 2023.

Emergency Medical Responder is recognized by the State of California as the basic level of training needed by those charged with the initial response to medical emergencies. The care provided by the first medical responder is a high-quality first aid, including the administration of oxygen, CPR, automatic-defibrillation, wound management, splinting, and more. This is the first step in becoming a trained Emergency Medical Technician. First Medical Responders provide the immediate medical care needed to support the life of a sick or injured person until the arrival of the ambulance.
