FAQ

EMT stands for Emergency Medical Technician.  To become an EMT you must attend an EMT course that includes classroom/online and practical skills training. EMTs take a written and practical exam that has been approved by the State of New Jersey Office of Emergency Medical Services. After certification, the EMT is continually updating their skills through additional training sessions.

The standards that are set for starting the EMT class include a minimum age of sixteen, CPR certification at the professional rescuer level, and the ability to perform the duties with which emergency medical technicians come in contact.

CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest. We offer CPR classes for the Mount Laurel community, you can learn more on our Community Classes page.

CPR is taught by certified instructors that work in conjunction with either the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross. Classes are offered at different skill levels. To find out about registering for a CPR course please visit our Training page.

Becoming a member is easy, even if you don’t live in Mount Laurel! Few emergency squads extend membership to those outside of their community, however MLEMS believes that the willingness to help others extends far beyond township lines. Visit the Volunteer page for more information.

One incentive for becoming a  a volunteer is tuition assistance and scholarship opportunities for members. As an active volunteer you can receive tuition assistance through a number of programs. Visit the Volunteer page to learn more.
