Richland College

EMT Program

Prepares students to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical
Technicians Exam (NREMT) to become a certified EMT - Basic.
Texas state law now requires that all applicants complete a state-
approved EMS training program, take the NREMT Exam, then apply for
state certification through the Texas Department of State Health
Services
EMS personnel are required to enter chaotic situations and perform
job duties under a great deal of stress. They must react quickly to
rapidly changing situations and the needs of the patient. Patients’
lives and those of the first responders depend on rapid and appropri-
ate actions by EMTs. As such, all applicants to the program must be
able to meet the physical challenges of the profession including but
not limited to: lifting and moving patients, bending, crawling, use of
both hands to perform CPR and other skills, ability to read and write
the English language without assistance, ability to hear with assis-
tance and perform skills within specific timeframes as deemed appro-
priate by the NREMT and DSHS. EMT Basic Certification is a prerequi-
site for anyone seeking a career as a paramedic and/or firefighter.
