Fire Fighter/Paramedic, AAS

The Fire Fighter/Paramedic program is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment as a firefighter. By pairing the Firefighter diploma with the existing EMS Paramedic diploma, students can obtain the AAS degree thus fulfilling the ever-growing demand for employees in this field. Current trends show increasing EMS related calls for fire service employees and this paring of offerings will increase student employability. Students must meet entrance requirements for the Paramedic program and be a certified EMT in the State of Iowa or National Registry before enrolling in Term 4 of the program.
