NFC offering ‘rapid credentialing’ and scholarships for EMT, CDL courses

Posted on May 5, 2021

Individuals looking to become an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or commercial truck driver can get fast (and potentially free) training at North Florida College (NFC) this summer.

Through a partnership with the Florida Department of Education, NFC has Rapid Credentialing Scholarships available that may cover up to 100 percent of tuition, books and associated fees for its EMT class starting June 1 and CDL course beginning on July 30.

Training for both programs can be completed in just one semester (12 weeks for CDL and 16 weeks for EMT), quickly getting students ready for in-demand jobs locally, throughout the state and beyond.

Potential students must meet program entrance requirements to enroll and to qualify for the summer scholarships.

Those interested are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

These programs have limited capacity, and a limited number of scholarships are available.

To find out more about enrolling in the June 1 Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-Basic) program at NFC, contact Tina Parker at (850) 973-9493 or email parkercl@nfc.edu.

The class will meet two days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the NFC campus in Madison.

To find out more about enrolling in the July 30 CDL course at NFC, contact Heather Smith at (850) 973-9454 or email smithh@nfc.edu.

The class will meet Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the NFC campus in Madison.

NFC is also offering two free Class A CDL Permit preparation classes, May 15 and May 22, from 4-6 p.m., to help potential students meet program entrance requirements.
