South Central College

South Central College offers an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Hybrid course to provide students with the necessary didactic and cognitive skills to enter the Basic Life Support Ambulance occupation arena as an EMT.

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT) written and practical examination, administered by the Minnesota EMS Regulatory Board. The course follows the guidelines established by the United States Department of Transportation and meets the requirements set forth by the Minnesota EMS Regulatory Board. This course is a requirement to progress into the Intensive Care Paramedic Program of study. (Prerequisite: Student must be 18 years of age by the start of the course.)

The EMT Hybrid course consists of 160 hours of training offered in a hybrid format, combining online learning with some in-person skills training to fully prepare for the NREMT psychomotor exam. The cost of the course includes online access, e-book, readiness exam, in-person training, and NREMT psychomotor exam.

Please Note: This is NOT a program leading to a degree at South Central College, and these certifications are not eligible for federal student aid. Rather, SCC offers a series of courses that lead to certifications which prepare learners to render emergency medical services to the public.

Basic Entrance Requirements
Students must be 18 years of age prior to the start of the initial Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course. There is not an age requirement for the First Responder course.
