Foreign National Access to EMS Training in Virginia

If you are an individual with a valid student or work visa, but do not possess a United States social security number, please note the following when setting up your EMS Portal account.

Please enter your US Department of State issued visa number where it asks for your social security number.

Please NoteUS State Department requirements state individuals on tourist visas are generally prohibited from enrolling in vocational programs, including Emergency Medical Technician courses. While tourist visas allow for short, recreational study programs (i.e. a local cooking class), EMT training is considered vocational because it prepares a student for a profession or certification.
