Registration Dates & Fees

The registration/application fee is $50. We encourage prospective applicants to register for courses as early as possible to have time to submit the necessary documents before the course begins and to avoid losing a spot in a course that fills to capacity. That being said, if there is room in a course, students may enroll ‘last-minute’ if space is available and all documents are submitted. Some courses will have an insurance fee (HSPO), typically $20 and many courses have a $100 fee to cover material costs. This varies from course-to-course, the total is shown when you sign up for the course.

Course Textbooks and Workbooks

Unless otherwise stated, textbooks are not included in the program tuition. In the event any textbook is lost or stolen, the student will be required to purchase a replacement. Handouts are available for print in the online classroom manager or binders may be purchased upon request of available. Medical equipment such as blood pressure cuffs and stethoscopes are provided for use free of charge, but may be purchased at a nominal fee if preferred. Incidental supplies such as pens, index cards, notebooks, etc., are to be furnished by the student. Certain programs may have other requirements – check uniform policy (for instance, EMS students are required to have trauma shears, a penlight…).

As with any college program, books are not part of tuition.

Students should expect to acquire book(s) for their program. Note: Most of our programs include access to an e-text version at no charge.

2. If I have access to an electronic textbook, do I need to purchase a hard copy version? Expand

Essentially, no. Students are required to have access to the book(s) for the course they are taking and they are responsible for the material contained therein, however younger or more tech-savvy students may be perfectly happy with the e-text version provided. If a student desires a physical book, then the student must purchase the book separately.

3. If I am funded by an agency, will I have to purchase a physical copy of a book if I want one? Expand

No. If you are a student funded by an agency, books are included if your agency has paid for them.

4. Why aren’t books included in tuition? Expand

Just like at colleges and universities, some students prefer to purchase used textbooks, rent textbooks, or purchase/rent electronic versions. Rather than raise tuition and charge ALL students for a new textbook, we keep the tuition lower and leave it up to the student to decide what version of text to use for the course. This allows students to save money if they choose a less expensive option.

Students should expect to acquire uniforms and accessories for their program.

Uniforms must be worn to ALL course-related activities including classroom or lab sessions, testing, and clinical rotations. Showing up without a complete uniform is grounds to be dismissed from that class, lab, or clinical session and being marked absent.

Note: Our EMS programs include a polo shirt at no charge. EMT Refreshers do not require a uniform. Uniforms are also not required for any online training sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is a uniform required? Expand

911Programs is a Career Training Institute. That means, we prepare students for work upon graduation. That’s one of the reasons you will find our graduates working at nearly every hospital, laboratory, and fire / EMS agency in the state. A sharp appearance denotes confidence in others when they look at you. When you wear a uniform you look professional; when you look professional you start to feel professional; and when you feel professional you start to act professionally. Our goal isn’t just to get you trained – it’s to help you get hired and prepare you for your career.

2. When should I purchase my uniform / accessories? Expand

As soon as your application is approved, you are officially enrolled in the program. At that point you should make every effort to acquire the necessary uniform and accessories.

3. If I am funded by an agency, will I have to purchase my own uniform? Expand

No. If you are a student funded by an agency, uniforms are included if your agency has paid for them. Most funded students purchase them and get reimbursed by us with a receipt.

4. Why aren’t uniforms included in tuition? Expand

Just like at colleges, universities and other academies, some students prefer to purchase different styles of uniforms from very basic to upgraded or higher quality versions. Rather than raise tuition and charge ALL students for a specific uniform, we keep the tuition lower and leave it up to the student to decide what version to use for the course. This allows students to save money if they choose a less expensive option.

Immunizations

How to provide proper documentation of your immunizations.

To work or train in healthcare, certain immunizations are required. The following guide will help you navigate the requirements for your immunizations and records.

The 911Programs Immunization Form must be turned into your program before you can attend clinical rotation and also before phlebotomy students (including those students in the Medical Assistant, Cardio-Phlebotomy, and Patient Care Technician programs) can enter the lab sessions portion of the course. You may view our Immunization Policy at any time. You must fill out the immunization form and submit an electronic copy via the online classroom after registration.
