CFCC offering new EMT night class

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – Cape Fear Community College will soon offer a class at night for students who are interested in the Emergency Medical Technician course.

The class starts January 9.

CFCC says the class will focus on patient care in a pre-hospital setting and prepare students to take the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services exam at the EMT Basic level.

The class will also cover patient assessments, airway management, CPR/AED use, hemorrhage and shock management, splinting, spinal injury management, pediatric treatments, and obstetrical emergencies.

The class will be on Mondays, Thursdays and four Saturdays.

Hours are from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at CFCC’s North Campus in Castle Hayne.

EMS Program Director Troy Bowling says, “This night class will benefit those that cannot attend day classes due to work or family schedules. I am excited for more students to benefit from the career opportunities this class provides.”
