Training Fund Forms

EMT Initial Training

If you volunteer with a NJ eligible rescue squad, you may be eligible to have the course tuition fee waived. You MUST verify your agency is on this list by clicking HERE. In the “General Education Section” click on “Agencies Eligible for the EMT Training Fund” for the most up to date information. Besides waiving the tuition fee, the Training Fund Form may pay for your FIRST attempt at the NREMT exam once you have successfully completed the program.

Please note:

  • Your agency will have to apply on your behalf to NJ OEMS for Training Fund Authorization.

  • You should already be volunteering when you apply if you plan on using this form. Do not apply to one of our courses and then attempt to join a rescue squad. Getting started on a rescue squad can take time and some agencies require you to volunteer with them for a specified period of time before they will sign the form for you.

  • You will need authorization prior to the start of class. Pertinent information will be required, that is obtained in our acceptance packet that will be emailed to you once you pay the registration fee.

    Here are some key points to consider for Training Fund Eligibility:

    Member is in good standing, in accordance with the policy of the agency

    You do NOT receive any monetary compensation in the form of an hourly wage, a salary, or ANY other form of financial remuneration provided for or in connection with the provision of basic life support services;

    You are not employed full-time by a general or special hospital licensed pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:2H-1 et seq. as an emergency medical technician (EMT);

    You have NOT attempted more than one Initial EMT Education Program this calendar year that qualified for reimbursement from the EMT Training Fund;

    You have NOT used the EMT Training Fund for Initial EMT Education, more than twice since July 1, 2012;

  • RWJBarnabas Health cannot assist you in finding a rescue squad to volunteer with. Please contact the rescue squad closest to you to see if can start volunteering. Again, they have to be an eligible rescue squad in order to use the form. You MUST verify your agency is on this list by clicking HERE. In the “General Education Section” click on “Agencies Eligible for the EMT Training Fund” for the most up to date information.
