Students who complete the EMS Professions diploma will be able to fluidly move into the paramedicine program at the diploma level. Successful completion of the program allows the graduate to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians AEMT certification examination and to apply for Georgia licensure with the State Office of Emergency Medical Service and Trauma (SOEMST) as an AEMT. Fees incurred from the certification examination and state licensure are not part of the program's cost and must be paid for by the student/graduate.
