The Upper Pine Fall 2021 EMT-Basic Course will begin September 21st. The cost is $2300.00 and covers the tuition, didactic lectures and psychomotor skills proctoring, course textbooks and online learning resources, a class tee-shirt (worn for ride-alongs with the medic units), AHA CPR Certification and the National Registry Psychomotor Exam fee. We will be incorporating some Virtual Reality training, an ambulance driver simulation evening with the CO Department of Fire Prevention & Control driver simulator and hopefully a field trip to an autopsy. Some of the lectures may be on Zoom but most classes will be held at the UPRFPD Administration building in Bayfield.
