EMS EDUCATION PROGRAM

Courses in our EMS Education Program are structured into comprehensive segments: online coursework, hands-on skill training, and clinical experiences for certain courses. Upon completion, participants will be equipped with the necessary skills to start a career in EMS. For additional information about EMS, resources are available at the National Registry of EMTs, the NHTSA, or the Texas Department of State Health Services.

The core of the program is the online learning platform where the student will learn the didactic material for the course.  In addition to the robust content on the platform, students will be able to schedule one-on-one tutoring sessions with an experienced instructor should they need any additional help.  Students have access to nationally standardized practice exams to prepare them for the National Registry of EMTs cognitive examination.

All courses in our EMS Education Program require students to participate in a hands-on skill training lab.  This training is conducted throughout the course during the breakout segments.  Students will be shown psychomotor skills by experienced instructors and will have the opportunity to learn and practice them, receive feedback on their performance, and then demonstrate proficiency in each skill prior to beginning the Clinical Experiences Segment.

To finish the EMT or AEMT course, students must obtain hands-on experience by participating in clinical rotations in hospitals and with EMS providers.  This gives the student the opportunity to put their skills and knowledge to practice through contact with real patients, while being supervised by experienced medical professionals.  The number of clinical hours required depends on which course the student is enrolled in.
