With Emergency Medical Responder being a prerequisite course for EMT, by completing both courses in sequence one would have a strong foundation for starting an EMS career. The EMT is the beginning level for professional emergency medical response personnel. It is the minimum preparation required to staff an ambulance and most 911 medical response vehicles. EMR and EMT can be completed in one class each. Classes in this area meet California State EMS Authority and ICEMA regulations. The additional Fire classes with EMT satisfy the prerequisites for the learner to apply for the Fire Academy.
