About
Our Hybrid EMT course was one of the first EMT courses using a hybrid approach to EMT training. Our institute is licensed by the PA Department of Health, Bureau of EMS and follows the new National EMS Education Standards, which were implemented in 2012. Unlike traditional courses that require up to 200 hours of in-class learning, our course is designed for students to learn the majority of the material - the "book work" online. Students then attend in-class skills sessions for less than 50 hours, in either 1 full week of in-class meetings, or 3 weekends. Current EMRs, can expand on their training to become certified as an EMT, by taking the EMR to EMT Bridge course with only 2 weekends of in-class skills training.
