The Paramedic Technician-Advanced Placement program is a progression of the Paramedic program. Eligibility for advanced placement requires that applicants have received C’s or better in all courses and graduated from the one-year Paramedic program.

Steps for Admission

Please choose one of the following based on your status.

New or Returning Students

1. Submit Application for Admission located at cvtc.edu/apply

3. Education Requirement – Applicants who did not graduate from high school, are not currently high school seniors, and did not receive an HSED or GED diploma must complete one of the Ability to Benefit (ATB) options to demonstrate college readiness. For more details, please review CVTC’s ATB Program information at kb.cvtc.edu/atb.
4. Submit an official transcript in the Paramedic field. – CVTC Paramedic graduates are not required to submit a transcript, but must have earned a “C” grade or better in all of the Paramedic courses.

New students must meet with a CVTC Academic Advisor to have their transcript assessed before starting in the 2nd year of this program
