Emergency Medical Technician

Our Arizona Basic Emergency Medical Technician Course is 170 hours in length (Arizona Department of Health Services requires 110 hours).  It is designed to produce "exceptional EMT's!" At the end of the program students are well prepared to take and pass the National Registry of EMT's Practical and Written Exams. Equally important, our EMT's have the skills to obtain employment with Fire or EMS Agencies and provide great patient care.  We specialize in preparing students to upgrade to the Advance Life Support Level (Paramedic) when they are ready.  Classes include a Blood Borne Pathogens and Infectious Diseases Class, a Heart and Lung Disection, and a one day Vehicular Extrication and Patient Handling Class. Please email, write, or phone for more information or to obtain a bid.

We also offer EMT Refresher Classes and of course the popular Wilderness EMT Upgrade Progarm.  Our instructors keep up on the current re-registration requirements and provide up to date training on any new techniques or products that have been added to the EMS System since the student first certified. For example, did you know that Arizona EMTs will now be carrying Epi Auto-Injectors to administer to patients with anaphylaxis? They will, two adult pens and two pediatric pens - this was added in June 2005 and already is in our curriculum.
