Get ready for another FULL year of good, highly motivated, hands-on training. Just like last year – the training committee is working on and even expanding the same great training topics and training format for 2020.

In 2020 training will be conducted two days during the month. We will continue to offer a day and a night option for each training day as we strive to give multiple opportunities to receive your required training.

--> MONTHLY EMT CON-ED IN 2020

In partnership with CPCC, HFD remains a host spot for Mecklenburg County EMT Con-Ed in 2020. All EMTs are invited to attend.

We offer TWO training opportunities each month - a morning AND an evening option. Training will be held 9a-12p for the morning (AM) session and 7p-10p for the evening (PM) session. There will be no scheduled training during the summer vacation months nor the normal Holiday months. Training opportunities and hours match the National EMS education plan. Training will be on a four year cycle (just as previously) covering all required topics.
