Becoming an Emergency Medical Technician requires strict training. Classes prepare students to function as practitioners in the prehospital emergency medical environment. This 18-week course is considered a Blended/Hybrid Model. Students attend in-person sessions every Mondayday and Wednesday evening from 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm, with many select mandatory weekends being required. Students will also have 24/7 access to our custom-built classroom, which offers pre-recorded and scheduled content, including lectures, videos, and quizzes to support and enhance the learning experience.
Each student is required to participate in field/clinical internship experiences in and around Montgomery/Bucks/Berks Counties to achieve “patient contacts”.
Attendance is extremely important. In-person classroom absences are strictly monitored and cannot exceed 16 hours throughout the program.
Students who have successfully completed the didactic and clinical components of this program will be eligible to sit for the National Registry EMT Exam.
