EMT Basic
Our entry-level EMT certification course prepares you for a career in emergency medical services. Over the program you will learn patient assessment, airway management, CPR, trauma and medical emergency care, and ambulance operations through a mix of classroom instruction and hands-on skills training. Upon successful completion you will be eligible to take the National Registry (NREMT) exam and begin working as a certified Emergency Medical Technician.
EMT Refresher
The EMT Refresher course is designed for currently or recently certified EMTs who need to renew their certification. It reviews core skills and the latest treatment protocols, patient assessment, and updated national guidelines to keep your knowledge current and satisfy continuing education and recertification requirements.
Paramedic
The Paramedic program is our most advanced level of prehospital training, preparing you to provide critical, life-saving care. The comprehensive curriculum covers advanced pharmacology, cardiology and ECG interpretation, advanced airway management, and complex patient assessment, combined with clinical rotations and field internships. Graduates are eligible to take the Paramedic National Registry exam.
EMT Basic Hybrid
This is a self paced, online course designed for those who need a flexible schedule. After registration you will recieve an access code for the course material. You will then have 1 year access to the online material. When finished you will join us for skills training on Saturday and Sunday for 3 consecutive weekends.
EMT Advanced
The EMT Advanced program builds on your EMT Basic foundation with expanded clinical skills, including advanced airway techniques, IV therapy, and administration of select medications. This course bridges the gap between EMT and Paramedic, preparing you to provide a higher level of patient care in the field and to sit for the Advanced EMT certification exam.
