Career Firefighter

The First Responder/Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) class is a 40-hour program of advanced first aid training designed to give students a more comprehensive understanding of basic first aid. While this course does not provide state licensure or certification as an Emergency Medical Responder, it is ideal for high school and college-aged students seeking to receive training similar to that of EMS professionals as they pursue careers in healthcare, public safety, or law enforcement.
