In addition to the didactic component, there is a clinical experience as part of the course. The course modality is hybrid, provides NYS approved training to sit for the NYS EMT licensure exam, and equates to six credits, providing a pathway in NCCC's Advanced Emergency Medical Technician certificate program.
