Who is exempt from registration fees?
The Introduction to Emergency Medical Services course is free for you if you are unemployed, working part time, have been notified of a lay-off, or are underemployed. Underemployed persons are working part-time and/or are eligible for the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit. You will be asked to complete a fee waiver form the first day of class. Note that the required $30 fee for the WorkKeys assessments is not covered by HRD fee waiver. For all other EMT courses, North Carolina Public Safety Workers as defined by the N.C. General Statues are exempt from the registration fee. Proof of affiliation status must be submitted with the registration form. All others must pay the registration fee. A letter from the student’s affiliated agency must be provided at the time of registration for any course. For courses that continue more than one semester (e.g. Paramedic), a letter must be provided at the beginning of each semester.
