Applications being accepted for accelerated EMT class

Acadian Ambulance and the National EMS Academy are kicking off their second round of the accelerated EMT class in Lake Charles.
The program will select individuals interested in earning their Emergency Medical Technician certification and pay them while they are in training. Upon successful completion, they will then serve as EMTs in the Lake Charles area.
Compared to the traditional EMT program, which takes four months to complete, the accelerated program is an intense and complex seven-week course. Acceptance into this program is competitive, with only 30 seats available.
Acadian will cover the fees and costs of the course. While in school, the student will earn $11 an hour. Upon graduation and passing the EMT National Registry exam, the individual will begin earning EMT pay and will work as an Acadian EMT in the Lake Charles area.
The last day to apply for the program is Dec. 23, and the course will begin on Jan. 10, 2022. The class will be held in the Lake Charles area.
