• EMT BASIC PROGRAM

    PROGRAM ADMISSION 

    Disqualification

    Tennessee EMS Regulations precludes admission of students to EMT certification courses with a felony on their record without Bureau approval.

    The State of Tennessee EMS Board individually reviews the applications for certification of those with misdemeanor convictions after a background investigation by division staff. They may choose not to certify these individuals. These applications are handled on a case‐by‐case basis, after course completion. There is no mechanism to pre‐review the circumstance to determine certification eligibility.

    Students who are charged or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude while in the program may be suspended or dismissed from the program.
