Entrance Examination

Applicants are required to successfully complete the Fisdap Paramedic Entrance Exam. The Entrance Exam is at the Las Positas College campus. The testing schedule for the Fall 2024 Fisdap Paramedic Entrance Examination is yet to be determined.

Minimum qualifications for the Paramedic Training Program:

  • Applicant must  be 18 years of age at time of the first class date
  • Current valid California State Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Authority Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Certification

  • Current valid Basic Life Support Healthcare Provider certification
  • Successful completion of the course prerequisites or successful completion of a course equivalent

Course Prerequisites:

  • BIO 50: Anatomy and Physiology, (The prerequisite course of Anatomy and Physiology may be taken at another college.  The course must have a lab component assigned and be equivalent in course content and unit value to the Las Positas College course, BIO 50.  Online Anatomy and Physiology courses will not satisfy this pre-requisite.)
  • EMS 62: Medical Terminology
  • Successful completion of the LPC  Fisdap Paramedic Entrance Exam. The college nor the testing vendor, JB Learning, do not provide students with Pramedic Entrance Exam score results.

The Assessment Interview is at the Las Positas College campus. Prospective students receive an email invitation  indicating their assessment appointment date and time.
