NREMT Skillset

This program is run by the Foothill College EMS Programs. The materials in this course encompass both the psychomotor skills necessary for becoming eligible to sit the NREMT national certification exam, as well as a certified EMT in the state of California. They are listed in the order in which they should be learned, with a focus on mastering the fundamentals first, as some later skills build upon techniques learned in earlier skills. Typically the course is taught in a 2 quarter sequence.

Note, this does not cover the complete set of knowledge-based information tested in the cognitive exam administered by the NREMT, however, it prepares you for both the core skills and the supplemental skills needed for certification in California. For complete requirements see the EMT Certification Handbook

This course is open access and may be used in any other program free of charge. It is not currently open edit, however, directors of accredited programs who are interested in contributing material are encouraged to contact us.
