South Georgia Technical College EMT students are shown training inside South Georgia Tech’s ambulance.
South Georgia Technical College is offering a Fire and Emergency Services Occupation Associate Degree program for students interested in entry level employment in the public safety areas of fire science and emergency medical services beginning Spring Semester, January 13th, 2021. “This is a tremendous opportunity for individuals interested in working with a fire department or in the Emergency Medical Services field,” said South Georgia Technical College President Dr. John Watford. “These two fields are interrelated and now our students have the opportunity to apply for jobs in either or both career areas. Job growth in these two areas is expected to rise six percent or greater over the next few years.”
“Students graduating from this program may be eligible for certification and/or licensure in the following areas: Firefighter I, Firefighter II, EMT, and AEMT. Students can attend part-time or full-time,” said EMT instructor Brad Harnum.
