Since 1988, John Miksch has been volunteering his time to teach volunteers to become state-licensed emergency medical technicians. While the nine-month course is 110 hours for students, it is twice that many for the coordinator. The free classes offered by Mr. Miksch often have at least 35 people, because numerous municipalities send students.
Classes are hands-on, and demand participation.
Some state funding is provided to the program, but the First Aid Squad and the volunteers pick up the cost of books. All rights reserved.
