Current King County EMT Class Schedule
King County Emergency Medical Services (KC EMS) sponsors an EMT-B class twice a year that KCSARA members are eligible to apply for. There is no tuition for this class, but personal supplies must be provided for by the student. As the demand for this training has sharply increased over the past few years, and there has been an increase in the number of agencies and personnel competing for these seats, the spaces made available to KC SAR has been on the decline. During the spring and summer of 2010 KC EMS will be re-evaluating how they will do EMS training in the future, and KCSO will keep SAR units and SAR personnel updated on any changes to the current process. Currently the fastest and most sure method of obtaining your EMT-B certification is to take the course through one of the community colleges. Please see the Other EMT Classes link for more information on other class options.
The 2010 Spring KC EMS class has started and the next potential opening for KC SAR personnel will be fall 2010. Applications are expected to be published around late June.
