Emergency Medical Technician Basic Course

In this nine-week course, students will receive basic life support training skills needed to become a certified EMT. The classroom structure is divided into lecture and lab time, where students get a hands-on learning experience to practice rescue scenario skills. Students will have a primary lead instructor on lecture days. During lab time, students will break into groups with several skills instructors who will provide basic life support training on the particular lessons learned that day.
