Classes will begin on August 18, with the EMT Applied Technology Diploma being awarded at the end of Fall Term and the Paramedic College Credit Certificate program lasting through Summer Term 2026.

All prospective students must complete the online application for admission to Eastern Florida State College, as well as the separate online application to the Public Safety Institute.

The EMT program is designed to train individuals for entry-level positions in emergency medical and first responder services. Graduates can also gain certification that will allow them to continue their education into fire service or paramedics.

The Paramedic program is designed for students to complete their EMS education by securing a State of Florida Paramedic certificate. The Paramedic certified personnel can then declare their major to finish an Associate degree in EMS.
