Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Course Description

This Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course provides comprehensive, entry-level training in prehospital emergency care and prepares students for certification through the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) and state licensure. The program is designed to develop the knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment required to assess, manage, and transport patients in a variety of emergency and non-emergency settings.

Course Schedule:

• Dates: April 8 – June 13
• Days: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
• Additional Sessions: Every other Saturday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Over the duration of the course, students will complete approximately 150 hours of instruction, combining classroom lecture, hands-on skills training, and scenario-based learning. Topics include airway management, patient assessment, medical and trauma emergencies, cardiology, EMS operations, and special populations. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, teamwork, and adherence to current EMS standards of care.

Students are also required to complete clinical and/or field experiences to gain real-world exposure and meet patient contact requirements. Successful completion of all course components—including written examinations, practical skills assessments, and attendance requirements—will qualify students to sit for the NREMT EMT certification exam.

This course is ideal for individuals seeking to begin a career in emergency medical services, fire service, healthcare, or public safety, as well as those looking to enhance their emergency response capabilities.
