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.
