Program Information
Welcome to the El Camino College EMT program! Emergency Medical Technicians are professional
medical responders that have the opportunity to help ill and injured patients in various
scenes and emergency situations. EMT principles that are covered throughout this course
include, but are not limited to: leadership, followership, communication, safety,
situational awareness, scene size-up, problem-solving, decision making, patient assessment
and professionalism. EMT students learn about the practices and procedures through
lecture, skills lab, simulations, role-playing, tactical decision games and 24 hours
of field experience. Students who successfully complete all 170 hours with an overall
grade of 80% (B) or better will qualify to take the NREMT computerized adaptive test,
and then once successfully passed, go on to become a licensed Emergency Medical Technician.
