You'll have to check with them. I'm sure that some will but here in San Diego County, the norm is that you have to pay for the training yourself. There may be grants available and/or financial aid too!
Just a few questions if you could please answer it would mean a lot! I live in CA as well, the LA area, hoping to start my EMT course training in a couple of months. What program or city college did you sign up at for the course? Were you required to to take a first responder course or just the CPR card? And also can you get the CPR card from any various health organizations or does it have to be from the American Red Cross b/c that's what I read in some websites?? Thank you!
Will my local volunteer fire department pay for the schooling that I will need to become an emt.

Just to add, I started EMT in California in August.
Textbooks: 200
Tuition: 320+30 parking
Vaccines (if needed): 0-80 depending
Admin Costs and required equipment: 150-200 depending
Optional equipment (good boots, pants, own equipment, etc.): Variable
Admin are things like background check, NREMT fee I believe, so on and so forth. Never regretted spending a penny.
