HGTC reserves the right to require students to demonstrate competency through satisfactory completion of coursework, certification, challenge or exemption exams, or experiential learning. Each student's certification and experience will be reviewed on an individual basis.

Career Outlook
EMTs are typically members of fire departments or ambulance services. Private services
often do non-emergency work, such as taking elderly or chronically ill patients to
doctors' appointments, dialysis, etc. Some private services have contracts with municipalities
or other local governments to run their 911 response, as well. Many towns have their
own ambulance; sometimes the fire department and EMS are one and the same. Other EMT
services are owned and operated by the county, as opposed to a town or a private service.
