Vegas Thrive Guide: How to get paid while getting certified to become a Firefighter or EMT in Las Vegas!
Did you know you can train as a firefighter or EMT in the Las Vegas valley for free or at low cost? Fire departments like Las Vegas, Clark County, Henderson, and North Las Vegas pay you while you train in the academy. Clark County even offers free prep boot camps and volunteer firefighter training.
For EMTs, Clark County runs a free 9-week EMT Academy with stipends for living expenses, and ambulance companies like AMR offer earn-while-you-learn programs where you get paid while becoming certified. CSN also provides Firefighter I and EMT programs that can be covered by financial aid or Workforce funding.
These paths are open to adults 18 and older from any background. With determination, you can start a public service career in Las Vegas without student debt.
