EMT-Basic Certification Classes

220px-Star_of_life2.svg.png The Sturgis Ambulance regularly offers National and State Certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) classes. The classes are mostly online through JB Learning and will include discussions, quizzes, and interactive lectures.  There are practice nights scheduled throughout the time to work on the hands-on skills and go over any questions.  All students are required to coordinate ride-time to ensure adequate patient contacts and field experience.

A new class formed in December 2018. If you are interested in adding your name to a future class interest list, please contact Halli Schulz at (605) 347-5801.  For questions about lapsed or expired certifications, please ask to speak with Shawn Fischer.
