EMT Basic Refresher Course Announced
Release Date: 21 Oct 2003
DE QUEEN – Tammy Coleman, Continuing Education Coordinator at Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas, has announced that the College will offer an EMT Basic Refresher Course at the Mena Fire Department, 603 De Queen St., Mena, Arkansas, Saturday and Sunday, October 25 and 26. The 24 class-hour refresher course begins at 8AM and ends at 8:30PM both days. The course may be taken to maintain state certification as an Emergency Medical Technician or to aid in meeting NREMT renewal requirements. The cost for the refresher course is $85 per student, and can be paid by phone with Visa, Discover, or MasterCard. Purchase orders are also accepted. The registration deadline is 10AM, Friday, October 24. Coleman noted that Southwest EMS, Incorporated of Mena is generously sponsoring $30 of $85 tuition for the first 10 students who register for the refresher.
Coleman said, “We’ve formatted these classes as a low-stress educational experience. They’re designed to refresh people’s existing knowledge and introduce new information as it is appropriate.”
Coleman added that pre-registration through the Continuing Education office is required for attendance; registration will not be available at the door. Contact Continuing Education at 800-844-4471 to register, or for more information. Registration is also available at the front desks at CCCUA’s Extension Sites in Nashville and Ashdown. Coleman added, “We have offered these classes for some time, and realize that long, multi-session classes are difficult for EMT’s to fit into their busy schedules. That’s why we’re offering this EMT Refresher in a single weekend, because it allows EMT’s to complete their renewal requirements quickly.”
Cossatot Community College offers both technical certification and Associate’s degrees in a wide range of fields on its campus at De Queen, at extension sites at Nashville and Ashdown, and at cccua.edu. It has an enrollment of more than 1,000 students, and is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Higher Learning.
