- $130
= Non-resident fee (considered non-resident if you have
lived outside of Utah within the last 5 years. You will
also be required to complete finger-printing for application.)
- Note:
The BEMS certification fee is for testing and application
processing done by the State of Utah. The fee is not included
in your tuition, and needs to be a separate check or money
order made out to BEMS (they don't accept cash or credit
card). This fee is due at Orientation night, because it
must be turned in with your State application on the first
day of class.
- The
State also requires you to provide documentation of having
a TB test within the last year, you will need to bring
this information to your orientation if you have it.
This is a simple test which can be administered the first
night of class if you have not had one within a year.

Register early to reserve your position in the class.
Classes are unlike other college-level courses and multiple instructors
are utilized during practical sessions to assure the personal attention
required for learning advanced skills.
How
long will my EMT Intermediate certification be good for?
The state EMT Intermediate certification
is valid for a period of 4 years.
During that time you will be required to maintain your certification by
accumulating continuing medical education credits.
Once your 4 year period is up you may recertify your EMT Intermediate
for another 4 years by taking the state written recertification test.
What
equipment will I need?
All of the equipment you will utilize during class
is provided by the Academy.
Are
there any pre-requisites?
Yes. The State requires you to be a Certified EMT Basic prior to taking the Intermediate course. (Note: A recent rule change at the State level has now eliminated the old requirement of being certified for six months or a year prior to going on to an Intermediate course.)
You must also hold a current CPR certification card. If you do not currently have a valid CPR certification we offer the American Heart Association Healthcare Provider certification course every two weeks. To register for the next CPR course click here.
