How much are EMTs paid?
EMT pay varies tremendously from unpaid volunteers to salaried firefighters who with a few years of experience are earning over $30,000 a year. Many EMTs work as “paid” volunteers, where they are on-call and only paid if they are called out. Most full-time EMTs earn around $10 per hour. Pay will vary greatly based on the setting you are working in and your years of experience. How does the certification work? All of our classes provide certificates of completion and most provide local, state, or national certification. The EMT classes qualify you to take the state certification exams offered by the Utah Bureau of Emergency Medical Services. Most of the first aid classes provide certification through the National Safety Council. CPR certification is generally through the American Heart Association or the National Safety Council.
