NCH 2017 Paramedic Program Outcomes Summary 
(Updated 1/31/18)

2018-19 Paramedic Program Admissions Requirements and Instructions  (Updated 2/6/18)

Thank you for your interest in the 2018-2019 NCH Paramedic Class.

The last date offered for pretesting for the fall class is listed below. Please send an email confirming that you want to test on that date.  You must get at least 80% to be eligible to apply at Harper College to attend the program. 

A full class for NCH is usually 30 students but depends on the number of pooled preceptor spots we have to match an unaffiliated applicant with an EMS agency for the field internships. If you fail to achieve 80% on the first attempt you may choose to re-take the exam. However, class placement when we have more applicants than seats is determined by the 1^st pretest score. Applicants who score >80% on the first attempt may not re-take the exam just to achieve a higher score.  

After I receive your RSVP to test, you will receive a confirmation email with all the forms you need to fill out and the information/documents you need to bring with you.  All tests are scheduled in the 901 Kirchoff building on the north end of the NCH campus. 

Monday, June 18 – 10:00 AM      This will be the FINAL testing date for this year
