Applicants are encouraged to enroll in an EMT Refresher class offered at Las Positas in the Spring of 2021. The Course number is EMS 91 CRN #31317 and will begin on March 12, 2021 and ends on April 2, 2021.

Applicants must also be 18 years of age at time of the first class date in August of 2020.

There will be finite number of points available and assigned to EMS coursework GPA and College GPA. Points will also be assigned based on the score achieved on the 100 question multiple choice examination.
