What is Our Involvement With EMS Training?
Fire & Police Departments, Rescue & Ambulance Squads contact
us to design, develop & maintain their training needs for their entering
& existing personnel, involving…
- Introductory courses for people who are unsure about how much they
can or want to get involved
- First Responder courses for people who want to help but are unable
to commit the time necessary to obtain, and maintain, an EMT licensure.
- EMT Training for people who are able to commit to all the class hours
& work that goes into becoming licensed at this level. This also
enables First Responders to step up to the next level of care
- Recertification for existing personnel
- Continuing education workshops for existing personnel
“I just wanted to thank you again for everything all of your time, effort, and passion for the class and EMS. I am so glad I took this EMT class and you were the instructor. I admire you as an EMT as well as a great person/friend. Every single class I looked forward to going I never dreaded going to class. I will definitely miss the class. Everyone that came and helped out during classes were very helpful and I thank them for volunteering their own time to offer their knowledge. I am very excited to start my career as an EMT and I will do my best for myself and to best represent you.”
