Spring 2027 Hybrid EMT Class - Registration Now Open

The Kentucky Fire Commission is pleased to announce an Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT) class to be held on a hybrid platform.

The EMT class will begin on January 16, 2027 and run through April 24, 2027 (the end date may be adjusted to resolve any potential scheduling conflicts at skills locations or missed classes). Classroom sessions will be held virtually on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, from 6:30-10:30pm Eastern, with in-person hands-on training conducted at the locations listed below on select Saturdays.

EMT Class Skills Locations:

Bowling Green
Hanson (Hopkins County)
Hazard
Lexington
Louisville

Students MUST be sponsored by a Kentucky fire department. The Sponsorship Form shall be uploaded and submitted at the time of class registration.

Junior firefighters are welcome to complete an application for a class, however, priority will be given to adult career and volunteer firefighters; junior firefighters will be placed on a waiting list. If space permits, and a junior firefighter is invited to participate in the class, approval from their department and a signed SFRT waiver from a guardian are required to complete ride time – incomplete status of either of these will prohibit the junior firefighter from participating in this class.

Previous students of a Fire Commission-sponsored Hybrid EMT class are NOT eligible to participate in this class.

Entrance assessment testing is required of all registrants. This assessment will be administered by the Kentucky Fire Commission and covers anatomy, physiology, math and reading comprehension (9-11th grade levels), as well as an affective test derived from the general scale of self-efficacy.

Students must bring a laptop computer or tablet with internet capability to skills session for testing.

The Fire Commission will be covering the costs for this class. Students will attend for free and will receive a textbook, Platinum testing access and their first attempt at NREMT testing at no charge. Should a student withdraw after the class has begun, the sponsoring fire department will be assessed a fee.

Registration will conclude at 12pm Eastern on November 30, 2026. After the closing date, a selection committee will review the registration lists and an announcement regarding enrollment status will be provided to registrants in December.
