Q. How much does the EMT Program cost?

A. The breakdown of costs for the EMT Program are available by clicking HERE. Costs change as prices for equipment, student fees and tuition can change without notice. This should be a close estimate, and we will try to update the information as it changes.

Q. What about out-of-state tuition?

A. Out-of-state tuition is currently $359.71 per credit hour. In-state tuition is currently $98.75 per credit hour. (Tuition is subject to change.)

Q. I've submitted my application, what next?

A. About two weeks after the application deadline, we will send out letters to selected individuals who have been conditionally accepted. If you need more information about the program or curriculum, you can schedule an interview with the EMS Coordinator, Scott Williams.  Please call him at (850) 769-1551 ext. 6103 or email at swilliams@gulfcoast.edu .

Q. Will my previous background check with GCSC Fire College be accepted?

A. No.  The GCSC Fire College does not share the students' background results.  As stated in the EMT application, "Criminal background checks performed through other agenices will not be accepted."
