College of DuPage offers an Emergency Medical Technician certificate program each semester. Students interested in completing this ten-credit-hour course are encouraged to enroll early as classes fill up quickly.
Completing EMT training is a first step toward becoming a paramedic and is also a great way for students to decide whether this or another health care profession is a career they would like to pursue.
Spring 2025 Registration
Registration for Spring 2025 EMT (Fire 2271) courses is underway and will remain open until all seats are filled or until the spring semester has started. Visit Registration Services for more information.
EMT Classes
EMT class sections can be viewed on Student Planning. You do not need to be logged in to view classes.
Enrollment for EMT Registration is limited, is on a first-come/first-serve basis, and classes will not be overloaded or seats reserved. Please monitor the class schedule for availability prior to beginning the registration process.
When all the EMT Registration Requirements are completed, including the background check (not just submitted, but actually completed), you may register through your myACCESS/Student Planning account. You can also register by emailing (using only your COD student email: xxx@ dupage.edu) the Registration office or calling registration (630) 942-2377. Be sure to include/have ready your COD ID#, Course Number (Fire 2271) and Section # (HYxxx), and a registration representative will complete your enrollment and provide a balance due for payment. If your student account balance is not fully covered by financial aid or military benefits, you must enroll in a payment plan or pay your balance in full or you will be dropped for non-payment.
