        Pasco-Hernando State College is committed to offering top-notch programs to prepare our students for the workforce. Our combined Firefighter/EMT program, will not be enrolling new students at this time.

       As an option, we will continue to offer the Firefighter program and EMT programs separately. We will update you as soon we reopen the combined program for enrollment! Please reach out to an advisor for more information.

The purpose of this program is to provide the necessary training required for students to become certified firefighters as well as licensed Emergency Medical Technicians.
