EMT Basic / Paramedic, Alex Hearn

Many students earn the EMT-Basic certificate at Lakeland, then leave to earn a Fire Certification, known as FF2. For those who wish to pursue careers as a firefighter, area fire departments require paramedic certification. In fact, several are fire department chiefs sit on the program’s advisory committee. Once the FF2 certification is completed, students return to Lakeland to earn the paramedic certificate.
