EMT classes in Wisconsin
53 EMT (emergency medical technician) and paramedic programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
15 schools offer these EMT and paramedic programs, and Wisconsin has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
EMTs and paramedics assess injuries and illnesses, give emergency medical care and may take patients to hospital. A basic EMT course usually takes less than a year and the intermediate level up to two, and every state requires a license.1 Every state recognizes National Registry (NREMT) certification as proof of entry-level skill before it issues an EMT license.2
In Wisconsin, 21 of the 53 programs take students without a high school diploma, 23 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 9 ask for earlier courses first.
By kind, the 53 programs here are EMT (14 programs), paramedic (13 programs), advanced EMT (11 programs), paramedic or EMS (associate degree, 9 programs), and 6 more of one other kind.

Where the Wisconsin EMT and paramedic program numbers come from
Which Wisconsin EMT and paramedic programs are on this list?
These are the EMT and paramedic programs Wisconsin approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).10 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Wisconsin offers.
How the prices and results of Wisconsin EMT and paramedic programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
