EMT classes in Georgia

49 EMT (emergency medical technician) and paramedic programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

20 schools offer these EMT and paramedic programs, and Georgia has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

EMTs and paramedics assess injuries and illnesses, give emergency medical care and may take patients to hospital. A basic EMT course usually takes less than a year and the intermediate level up to two, and every state requires a license.¹ Every state recognizes National Registry (NREMT) certification as proof of entry-level skill before it issues an EMT license.²

In Georgia, 1 of the 49 programs takes students without a high school diploma and 48 ask for a diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 49 programs here are EMT (15 programs), advanced EMT (14 programs), paramedic or EMS (associate degree, 11 programs), paramedic (8 programs), and 1 more of one other kind.

How to pay for EMT classes in Georgia

WIOA funding can pay for EMT classes in Georgia

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for EMT classes

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.⁷⁸

GI Bill for EMT classes

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.⁹

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Quick facts: EMT classes in Georgia

programs with a price cost under $2,000: 11 of 49
lowest typical price among the states with enough programs to compare: 23rd of 36
other states where the typical program's graduates earned less: 1 of 25
EMT and paramedic programs here, against the typical state's 18: 49 vs 18

State comparisons use the same figures as the EMT classes by state table: the middle program of each state, and only states with three or more schools for prices. Source: US Department of Labor, program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025).

Where the Georgia EMT and paramedic program numbers come from

Which Georgia EMT and paramedic programs are on this list?

These are the EMT and paramedic programs Georgia approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).¹⁰ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Georgia offers.

How the prices and results of Georgia EMT and paramedic programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
