Yes!  Most quarters, Foothill offers EMS 203, Basic Continuing Education courses.  You will need to complete the general Foothill College application to obtain your CollegeWide ID number if you don't have one already.  All EMS 203 students are required to attend the first scheduled class, but the amount of class hours/days you need to attend after that will vary depending on how long your license has expired.  The instructor will discuss this in greater detail with you the first day of class. 

If your license has expired more than 2 years, you are not eligible to take EMS 203 and must re-take an entire EMT program.

The noncredit classes (EMS 400, EMS 401 and EMS 402) covers the exact same material as the credit classes (EMS 50, EMS 52, EMS 53 ). The benefit of taking the noncredit class sequence is that you don't pay the per-unit fees, thus saving you money. However, noncredit classes are non-transcriptable, so these classes won't appear on any official transcripts you may order, nor are any grades officially given. Furthermore, you aren't allowed to switch from noncredit to credit, or credit to noncredit.
