Thank you for your interest in the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician career studies certificate and/or the Paramedic associate degree program(s). These programs are offered through a partnership between New River Community College (NRCC) and Central Virginia Community College (CVCC). Students are enrolled at both colleges, with CVCC being the “home” college which means that CVCC determines acceptance into the program, processes financial aid, and awards the certificate and/or degree. Lecture courses are taught online through CVCC, and the in-person labs and clinical components are taught by NRCC.
The programs listed below are based upon the Virginia EMS Education Standards (VEMSES) which are derived from the National EMS Education Standards (NEMSES).
* AEMT and Paramedic programs students must be 18 years or older by the first day of class.
** Must obtain a minimum of a C in EMS courses to be eligible for the NREMT Exam.
*** Must be a current EMT in good standing.
