The EMT-Basic program consists of 2 courses, taken concurrently,  EMS 117 and 118.  The course meets 3 sessions per week.  During the Summer quarter we typically offer a special accelerated program that meets 5 days a week, 8-hours each day for 3 1/2 weeks.

Please see the Sinclair class schedule for specific days.

Pre-requisites
•  Must be 18 or older and provide proof of age (i.e. driver's license, military id, etc.)
•  Must complete the EMS Entrance Application
•  Must test out of or take and pass DEV 065 and 075 or have taken and passed a college level English course

Upon successful completion you are eligible to sit for the National Registry exam.  This test is the vehicle used by the state to determine competency.  Individuals wishing to practice as an EMS provider within the state of Ohio will then need to apply for state licensure.  Once granted state licensure individuals will be able to gain employment.
