DCAS EMS EXAM

[shylieen78]

I have a small situation hoping someone can clarify for me. I am currently in EMT classes and almost finished, I take my exam on 11/30/21. My plan is to join the FDNY EMS team so I know that the DCAS exam is now open from 11/03/21-11/26/21 I believe. So I took the DCAS exam for EMT Trainee instead of EMT because I still wouldn’t have the EMT certification by the end of the deadline date which would be the 26th, I’m off by 4 days. So I didn’t know what to do and applied as an EMT Trainee. Can anyone shed some light? Should I have applied for EMT instead? How does that work?
