Course Description:

DSHS will hold the spring 2021 Coordinator Course virtually in conjunction with the 2021 Texas EMS Educators Summit. Candidates should be prepared for two fast paced and intense days of classroom instruction to prepare to become a Course Coordinator. After attending and completing the full course and successfully passing the Coordinator Course exam, candidates will be provided a course completion certificate. Candidates have one year and up to three attempts to successfully pass the certification exam. You are encouraged to review the requirements for certification listed in the link below before you register for the course or apply for certification; you will be asked to attest that you have reviewed and meet the requirements for certification when registering for the course. The DSHS certification process can be found at the following link (EMS Course Coordinator rule: EMS Rule §157.43).
