​The Commonwealth of Virginia's Office of EMS prescribes a number of pre-requisites and co-requisites from all students seeking initial EMT certification. Emergency Training Solutions, LLC is unable to offer exceptions to these requirements. We have established updates to our pre-requisite and co-requisite requirements for the Summer 2026 semester and beyond as noted below.
