The Emergency Medical Technician Certificate prepares graduates for jobs where certification is required by statute such as ambulance attendant, as well as other jobs where emergency medical skills are required. EMT-Basic is approved by the Colorado State Department of Health and is offered both spring and fall semesters on the Fort Morgan campus. MCC Centers offer EMT training annually. Upon successful completion of the EMT Certificate program, students will then be eligible to take the National Registry Practical and Computer based exams.
