FIRST RESPONDER/EMT TRAINING SUBSIDY APPLICATION FOR TRAINING FUNDS
July 1, 2013 - June 20, 2014
Regional EMS funds are again available to official First Responder Squads in Southeastern Minnesota for the following courses: First Responder Certification, First Responder Recertification, Emergency Medical Technician Certification, and Emergency Medical Technician Recertification. A squad can apply for EMS funds to meet the training needs of both new and current members. Following is the allocation per person for each program:
First Responder Certification ($175)
First Responder Recertification ($100)
EMT Certification ($300)
EMT Recertification ($125)
BLS ambulance services who have a hardship variance and are using First Responders on their service CAN apply for the FR training funds! They are not, however, eligible for the EMT training funds because that is available through the EMSRB. Ambulance services only need to complete contact info and # to be trained.
NOTE: Acceptance of application does not guarantee payment for all requests for reimbursement. Eligible reimbursements are paid on a first come, first served basis until the funds allocated for the fiscal year have been depleted.
