Allied Health
EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) - Basic
Overview
The EMT-Basic (Life 129) class is offered fall, winter, and spring quarter and adheres
to the NHTSA/DOT guidelines.
Upon successful completion, the student is able to sit for both the Washington State EMT-B and the
National Registry EMT-B exams. This class is designed to prepare students to enter into the Pre-Hospital
care field by participating in classroom lectures, performing skills in lab settings, and continuing the
learning process in a 10-hour emergency room clinical. If the student is not sponsored by the time of the
Washington State EMT-B exam they will have one calendar year to get sponsorship for their state
certification. Students must be 18 years old and have a high school diploma or GED. Perspective
students need to have a current CPR card; either AHA healthcare provider or ARC professional rescuer.
The student does not need to be sponsored to be registered for this class.
Please see the 
EMT brochure for more information.

Persons with Disabilities
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, accommodations for students with disabilities will be considered at the student's request. The student will be required
to register with the Disability Support Services office and provide documentation of disability. Once the student is qualified by
the DSS Manager as having a disability, requested accommodations will be considered. Accommodations for the classroom, laboratory,
or clinical setting will be considered according to reasonableness. Accommodations that compromise patient care, or that
fundamentally alter the nature of the program or activity, are not considered to be reasonable. A student denied accommodation may
request an individualized determination to assure that the denial is not a result of disability discrimination by contacting the
Manager of Disability Support Services and Testing at 533-7498. Procedures for appeal are outlined in the SCC Center for
Students with Disabilities Student Handbook. Other than accommodation issues, procedures for student grievances including
academic dismissal are outlined in the following SCC website:
