Become an EMT

To be an EMT in Utah, you must complete a training course and then pass a written and practical exam. Training courses are usually about 150 hours of instruction time and 10 clinical hours.

National Registry and/or other state certification

If you are registered with the National Registry of EMTs or are certified in another state, Utah requires all EMTs to be Utah certified prior to working with an EMS agency. To get certified in Utah, you must go through a process called reciprocity. More details about reciprocity are available at the Utah Bureau of EMS website.
