Emergency medical services personnel who are interested in becoming EMT instructors can learn the skills they need this fall in a weekend class at Western Nevada Community College. EMS 110B: Emergency Medical Services Instructor class meets Friday evenings and Saturdays on four weekends (October 7-8, 21-22, & December 2-3, 16-17).
