Horizon Health is accepting registration for an upcoming EMT-Basic certification course.

The 22-week course will take place on Thursdays from 6 to 10 pm, beginning September 23, at Horizon Health. The fee for the course is $800.

Internet access is required, as this is a hybrid course. Access to Jones & Bartlett Learning and all course materials are provided. CPR and BLS certifications are included in the course. Registration includes a student polo shirt for clinical hours. Fourteen seats are available—first come, first served.

Note that participants cannot be a convicted felon and must be up-to-date on immunizations prior to the start of class. They also must pass a drug screen and background check at their own expense. Horizon Health offers this service for $50.

The course will be led by Sean Robison, Horizon Health EMT. Robison is licensed through the state of Illinois as a lead instructor for the course and is a practicing EMT-Basic for 12 years. He also serves as the EMS coordinator for the Paris Community Fire Protection District.

Register by Friday, September 10. The registration fee is required at the time of enrollment. For questions, email srobison@MyHorizonHealth.org.
