Admissions Process

All qualified applicants are invited to contact the EMSTI office at 209-461-5550 for an application or you may go to the applications link and download one from this web site.

All applications will be screened and reviewed by our education committee and if all minimum qualifications are met you will be contacted in writing to set up an interview. A written exam may be given at this time.

After careful consideration you may receive a pre-enrollment letter stating that you have been accepted into the program, contingent on return of necessary documentation of immunizations, other program required paperwork and your deposit. At that point you will be notified of enrollment.

*Enrollment is on a first come first serve basis and pre-enrollment does not in anyway constitute a saved slot in EMSTI’s paramedic program.
