Overview of the Emergency Medical Science (EMS) programs and the admissions procedures
We offer both Curriculum and Continuing Education EMS programs. Curriculum programs are for college credit and in the format of more traditional college degree programs. Continuing Education programs are not for college credit and are generally shorter in length. Many EMS classes are offered at A-B Tech Woodfin.
We offer non-credit, Continuing Education EMS classes that can help you further your education in EMS or re-certify for Buncombe, Madison, and Yancey Counties. The Continuing Education EMS program provides the following training courses: EMS paramedic program, EMT and EMT-1, and CPR and other healthcare classes.
To view a list of scheduled classes, go to abtech.edu/ems-coned and click "Emergency Medical Services Training Classes" on the left. For additional information, contact information for the coordinator over each course is listed.
