EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) Information Session
Saturday, April 16, 2016, from 2 PM - 4 PM
Wonder Valley Community Center
80526 1/2 Amboy Road, Wonder Valley, CA 92277
There will be an EMR Information Session on Saturday, April 16 from 2 - 4 p.m. at the Wonder Valley Community Center, 80526 ½ Amboy Road. Come find out why you, or someone you know, should take this training.
If the Community of Wonder Valley chooses to form its own Paid Call or Volunteer Firefighter program we will need to train and qualify community members to participate.
There are two steps to this process:
- Take and pass the EMR Training (in as little as one month)
- Take and pass the Firefighter Training (in as little as one semester)
Both of these programs are provided at Copper Mountain College and are scheduled to accommodate working people.
CLASS DETAILS
The next EMR training starts on June 13 and continues through July 13. Classes are on Monday through Thursday from 9 to 11:50 a.m. at Fire Station 422 in Desert Heights (north of Twentynine Palms). There are no requirements or prerequisites for taking this course. There is no age limit.
This is a 3 unit college course. The cost is $46.00 per unit for a total of $138.00, plus the cost of the textbook which is $125.00. Students are also responsible for purchasing a CPR Pocket Mask, stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, and a pen light.
Some
SCHOLARSHIPS and FEE WAIVERS may be available and we will have a Financial Aid Specialist from Copper Mountain College come to the Community Center in May to help people apply for financial aid and fee waivers. Please contact James Brakebill at
