Medical Training

Among the Continuing Education classes most in demand are those which prepare individuals for work in the health care field. Offerings include:

Emergency medical courses are also offered through Continuing Education and include Emergency Medical Responder, EMT Basic, EMT Intermediate, and Paramedic Courses. Medical courses are considered “limited enrollment,” which requires that candidates apply for admission and meet established criteria to enroll.

NC Community Colleges provide in-service training to over 90% of our State’s firefighters. NCDOI Certification classes for Firefighters I & II, Rescue Technician, Driver Operator, and Emergency Vehicle Operator will maintain their normal schedules posted at each department. Emergency Medical Services continuing education classes follow the schedules posted at each department. Initial training for Emergency Responders, EMTs and Paramedics is available at various locations throughout the county.
