Emergency Services Degrees

NCC offers four emergency services degree options, completely online, that allow participants to specialize in the area that best suits their interests.

The degree options are for both established first responders looking to advance their career as well as those new to the field. Whether you are training to become a firefighter, an EMT, or an emergency services administration professional, NCC’s learning environment is tailored to fit your career path.

Emergency Medical Technician has been identified as a high priority occupation in the region, with an expected 10% increase in demand in the Lehigh Valley. All programs can be completed within two years and have part-time options. Scholarship opportunities are available to NCC students, which includes several specific to firefighters.

Fall classes begin Aug. 31.

Napkin Holder Class

NCC will offer a 3-Hour Napkin Holder Class Aug. 24, from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the Fab Lab in the Fowler Family Southside Center, 511 E. Third St., Bethlehem.

Participants will start in the wood shop, cutting pieces to the right shape and sanding them to get them ready for finish. Then it is off to the laser engraver to personalize them with lettering or a graphic image of your choosing. Finally, everyone will head back to the wood shop for assembly and finish. By the end of the class, you will head home with a finely made object you can enjoy using or giving away. There is a fee.
