 FAQs about the EMT Program

  •    Is there an age requirement for the EMT class?                 All EMT students must be 18 years old by the first day of class.  This is due to contractual requirements of our clinical site partners.

  •   I am a returning EMT student. Do I need to repeat my background check?   Returning EMT students do not need to repeat their background check if  College of the Canyons has one on file that is less than 2 years old.

  • I am a Nursing Student at College of the Canyons and completed my background check. Do I need to repeat my background check?   EMT students who are also Nursing students and have had their background check through the Nursing Department do not need another background check as long as they are CURRENTLY ENROLLED in a NURSING COURSE. Nursing students must provide a copy of proof of current enrollment to the instructor and authorize a release of their background report to the EMT program. If the background check is more than two (2) years old, it must be repeated.

  •  I am a Nursing Student at College of the Canyons and completed my physical and immunizations. Do I need to repeat my physical and immunizations?  EMT students, who are also Nursing students and have completed their Nursing physical, must have their physician/NP/or PA sign the EMT physical form. A copy of the nursing physical must be attached to the EMT physical form and submitted to the EMT instructor.

  • May a student take only the lecture portion of the course and receive a grade?  No – students must be enrolled in class and complete all the requirements, including skills and clinicals.

  •  May the EMT course be repeated?  The course may be repeated if the student did not pass the class. Additionally, the class may be repeated for “mandated training” (i.e. has allowed EMT certification to expire, did not obtain certification within two years of the date on the completion certificate, or unable to certify through National Registry.) A “Request for Course Repetition” must be completed, including the reason for retaking the course.
