Our Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program teaches basic life support procedures. EMT is the entry-level certification for EMS. EMTs work alongside paramedics in the delivery of pre-hospital care.
Successful completion of this program entitles the student to sit for the National Registry examination and apply for the certification through the Texas Department of State Health Services.
EMT is a program offered in conjunction with Tarrant County College Northeast. The class will take place at the HCTC and is taught by TCC and HCTC instructors. All questions regarding program requirements and costs can be forwarded to:
