  The Emergency Services Program will require students to wear and maintain uniforms. As a cadet enrolled in either of these two programs, you will be required to wear your uniform (during class time) each day. You can expect to spend approximately $100 for the basic uniform. There will also be program specific items, which you will need to purchase including a stethoscope. A lab and textbook fee will also be assessed.
   
  Experiences outside the school day will be required. Each student will participate in public safety education events and apparatus ride-alongs. Training will also include water/rope rescue and hazardous materials support. Each student will also become certified in CPR and First Aid. Physical fitness will be a weekly component of each program’s curriculum.
