Daytona State College will begin offering the full Paramedic Certificate program at its Flagler/Palm Coast Campus beginning in May 2025.
“The demand for paramedics and EMTs continues to grow in Flagler and Volusia counties,” said Evan Doyle, director of the Charles M. Curb School of Emergency Services. “As we transition our first responder programs to the new Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Training Center on the DeLand Campus, we remain committed to ensuring easy accessibility for students and meeting the workforce needs of our agency partners throughout the region."
The Paramedic Certificate program takes four semesters to complete and provides comprehensive training in managing respiratory, cardiac, medical and traumatic emergencies. Students gain hands-on experience in IV therapy, airway management, medication administration, advanced cardiac life support and critical patient care.
Graduates are in high demand and can pursue careers with local fire departments, ambulance services, hospital emergency rooms, intensive care units and emergency helicopter transport agencies.
To be eligible for the program, applicants must have completed an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course (also available through DSC) and obtain Florida EMT certification by the end of their first semester.
DSC’s summer semester begins May 19. To learn more about the program or apply, visit: http://bit.ly/DSC_Paramedic
