Completion of the Emergency Medical Technician program is designed to meet course requirements for professional licensure in Utah. Licensure is the exclusive right and responsibility of each state. In order to practice as an Emergency Medical Technician, students must satisfy individual state requirements, independent of SLCC course requirements. It is highly recommended that students consult in advance with the Utah Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Preparedness , or similar agencies in other states, to find out more about eligibility for licensure.
For students who plan to work as an Emergency Medical Technician in another state, here is one suggested website for researching state licensure requirements: License Finder sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor.
