Upcoming Dates And Times
Questions & Answers
- When are the next classes?
SUMMER CLASSES ARE CURRENTLY FULL
Info sessions May - August are for our fall semester. The dates are currently pending, but we will have a day class and night class option. The fall semester runs August through December. Dates for fall should be finalized in late May or early June.
- Do I need to bring anything?
We recommend something to take notes but you will receive a handout packet that includes information about the class.
- Do I need to stay the whole time?
We recommend staying during the full presentation to get the most information about the program. Our presenters usually speak for about an hour and try to be efficient, but we like to leave more than enough time for questions & answers during and after the presentation.
- Where can I park?
We only have one building and parking surrounds the entire campus. There will be more than enough space.
- I may arrive late...
That's okay! You can email us and let us know if you'll be 10-15 minutes late at ems@durhamtech.edu. If you'll be later than 20+ minutes, we recommend signing up for a different info session timeslot.
- Do you host virtual sessions?
Currently virtual sessions are held for those interested in AEMT or Paramedic.
- I'm still in high school...
That's okay! We have a program for high schoolers each spring and fall through dual enrollment.
High school students will need the following in order to register for classes:
- Driver's license (not a permit)
- SAT or ACT scores meeting our minimum requirements or you can placement test with us*
- A letter from your high school letting us know you are in good academic standing
- Must be 17 years old by the end of the class
*SAT score minimum: 480 ACT score minimum: ENG 18 or higher or READ 22 or higher
These scores will place you into a college-level English course which is the pre-requisite for the EMT class.
These scores must have been received within the last year.
