The school will provide a uniform shirt. Approximate cost $60-$75 depending on brand. Because most programs meet 3 times a week, it is recommended to get 3 uniforms,. It is also recommended that students consider a school 'job shirt' (approximate cost $80) and a baseball cap (if desired, approximate cost $30). Job shirts and caps can be added to student accounts for students who are financing their education with payment plans.

The AEMT-Cardiac Program at 911Programs prepares graduates to sit for the NREMT Advanced EMT level written and practical exams as well as the course final EMTC written practical exams which count as the state exam since 911Programs is an authorized site for EMTC final written and practical examinations. 911Programs is an authorized test site for NREMT AEMT written exam but students do not have to take the NREMT exam with us. 911Programs is an authorized site for final practical EMT-C examination and students will take their final skills exams here. Upon certification by the NREMT, graduates may apply for state licensure. At the current time, only four states (NY, NC, MT, AK) do not require NREMT EMT certification for licensure. The NREMT map is updated daily and can be found here: https://www.nremt.org/maps
