Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
You can get the experience and training it takes to become an EMT right here at Contra Costa College—and most people do it in just one semester!
At CCC, you’ll learn how to monitor vital signs, administer oxygen, perform CPR, and other life-saving procedures using our new, state-of-the-art equipment. The department even has its own ambulance. To make sure you’re ready for the national registry test, we use a comprehensive simulation that tells you exactly what you’re getting right and what you need to work on. You’ll even get to ride along with local first responders, for real-life experience treating patients.
Our program keeps up-to-date and connected to job openings through ties to those professionals, including an active board of advisers from hospitals, fire and police departments, ambulance providers, and county Emergency Medical Services authority.
