The Firefighter and EMT Preparation Program is a two-year associate degree pathway at Los Angeles Valley College, backed by the LAFD, the LAUSD and the LACCD.
It recruits high school seniors and recent graduates between 17 and 21, as well as other people drawn to fire technology and emergency medical work. Students enroll with Fire Technology as their major and Valley College as their home campus.
Applicants complete the district application, submit a separate program application and attend an orientation session. Graduates are positioned as strong candidates for firefighter and emergency medical technician jobs, particularly with the LAFD. Interested students should read the listed requirements first, since eligibility rules apply to both the college and the program, including background standards tied to peace officer status.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a high school diploma or must be in 12th grade on track to graduate, an LACCD application with a nine-digit student ID, no disqualifying felony or certain misdemeanor convictions for California peace officer status, and attendance at a mandatory orientation.
