Hello Future Student,

We are excited about your interest in the EMT program here at Alamance Community College. I am writing to you today to tell you a few things you should know about our program before you arrive for the first, class session.

The EMS Department is located on ACC’s main campus in Graham. We are located on the first floor of the B-Building. Please come by my office (B-111), or schedule a zoom meeting, before the semester begins to say hello or ask any questions. My door is always open.

This course is designed to prepare the student for certification as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), as defined and recognized by the NC Office of EMS and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT). The course content includes the knowledge and skills necessary to provide emergency medical care at the basic life support level with an emergency service or other specialized service.
