EMT Basic Disclosure

Program Information

Visit the EMT webpage to learn more. Visit the EMS program webpage or the EMS Bridge program webpage to learn more about our curriculum. 

The Recognition of EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate CompAct (REPLICA) is the only national multi-state compact for the Emergency Medical Services profession.  Qualified EMS professionals licensed in a "Member State" will be extended a "Privilege To Practice" in participating states for qualified circumstances.  Learn more about the EMS Compact and the Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice at their official website https://www.emscompact.gov/

North Carolina is not currently a compact state.  Students should contact the appropriate state agency for additional information.

Licensure Disclosure

Stanly Community College academic programs (credit and non-credit) that are designed to lead to state educational requirements for professional licenses are either tied to the State of North Carolina or national certification.

If you intend to pursue professional licenses outside the State of North Carolina once you have completed your academic program at Stanly Community College, please refer to the Professional Licensure Section on the college's state authorization page for additional information: State Authorization
