    The course will be offered via the Internet beginning Monday, June 1, and ending Friday, July 31. The cost of the program is $5 for affiliated paramedics and $185 for non-affiliated paramedics.

    This 72-hour course has been approved by the Board for Critical Care Transport Paramedic Certification. Paramedics who are already flight paramedic, or FP-C or critical care paramedics, or CCP-C, certified can use this course for recertification.
