EMT-Paramedic
(Graphic courtesy Americommerce)
The rigor and quality of the NEMSA Emergency Medical Technician curriculum, coupled with real-life experience, knowledgeable instructors, a flexible schedule for working adults (classes meet just two days per week), and a quick path to certification (just three semesters), make Lamar State College Orange’s Paramedic Certification Program the best in Southeast Texas.
Following completion of this program, students will be well-prepared and eligible to sit for the paramedica examination with the state and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. Certification as an EMT-Basic is required to enroll in the program.
In addition, LSC-O can offer the TuitionPay program to Paramedic students, a monthly payment plan that makes the program affordable for almost anyone. TuitionPay features an affordable down payment, and reasonable monthly payments that will help you spread out your tuition payments over the life of the program. This is not a loan, is interest-free, and no credit check is necessary to qualify.
