Dual Enrollment Academy | 21-credit Program

This program combines Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Firefighter courses, giving students a well-rounded experience in the field of protective services, allowing them early opportunities to serve in their communities and gain insight into their strengths and interests among both pathways.

Emergency Medical Technicians are trained to perform certain medical procedures, transport patients via ambulance and provide pre-hospital care in preparation for getting a patient to the next point of care.

Firefighters are tasked with the responsibility of protecting life, property and the environment through fire suppression, hazardous materials mitigation and emergency medical services.
