Grants for EMT Training
Emergency medical technicians, or EMTs, care for victims of auto accidents and other emergencies while transporting patients to the hospital. They must possess broad medical knowledge to assess and treat a variety of cases. EMT training programs require up to two years to complete and typically result in an associate degree, preparing graduates for certification by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. Several organizations offer grants to defray the cost of EMT training.
