EMT Basic Course





An Emergency Medical Technician-Basic course will be offered at the Greenbackville Volunteer Fire Department starting on January 24th. Class will meet on Sundays and Tuesdays and will continue through June 2010.

The EMT-B program introduces students to the basics of prehospital emergency care and includes over 120 hours of training in a variety of emergency medical situations. Students who successfully complete the course will be eligible to sit for the Virginia EMT-B State Exam offered in June. To be eligible for the course, applicants must be 16 years of age as of the first day of class, be proficient with the English language, have no felony or other serious criminal convictions, and possess a Healthcare Provider-level CPR card.

For applicants needing CPR certification, a separate class will be offered prior to the first day of class. The cost for the entire course is $25.00 and registration is limited to 30 students. The deadline for registration is January 10th.

For more information, contact Kevin Holloway, Course Coordinator, at (757) 824-5207 or by e-mail at kevinholloway@verizon.net
