About
Congreso recognizes the important role that Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) serve in our communities and the need for quality, equitable, and accessible training. In partnership with All-State Career School, our program trains those who dream of a career in emergency medical services with the required education to obtain the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certification. Our program is 100% in person – students travel to All-State Career School 3 days/week and to Congreso’s Training Center 2 days/week. Upon successful completion of the classroom portion of training, all students participate in a two-week externship to receive hands-on training and insight into the role of an EMT.
