EMT Basic Training in Arizona

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) are a vital link in the chain of healthcare. During an emergency, EMTs are dispatched to the scene by a 911 operator, and often work with police and fire department personnel. They are responsible for providing efficient, quality medical care and transporting patients to the hospital. EMTs engage in high-risk work, which means it is absolutely critical they receive proper training. With our hands-on EMT basic training program, you can join this group of dedicated healthcare providers and make a significant difference in people’s lives.

EMT Boot Camp Curriculum

Our EMT program is a 14-Day Boot Camp with hands-on exercises, active learning, and clinical simulations. Taught by seasoned EMS professionals, the EMT program includes approximately 10 hours of EMS instruction per day for 14 consecutive days. During the program, students participate in realistic emergency simulations to prepare them for success in the field.

Advanced Level EMT Skills

Glucometer.

The glucometer is used by EMTs to measure a patient’s blood sugar level. This skill enables students to learn and understand glucometer basics as well as monitor a patients’ glucose levels.

I.V. Maintenance.

Occasionally, patients need to be transferred from one facility to another with an I.V. already established. Through our training students will learn I.V. basics.  Students will learn the I.V. basics, including the identification of medications used in I.V. therapy and monitoring the I.V. line. NOTE: this is not for initiating I.V.’s, it is to learn how to take care of a patient who already has one.

Advanced Airway Management.

This is a lifesaving procedure that helps unconscious patients maintain a secure airway. Students learn about endotracheal intubation, dual lumen airway devices, and other ways to help a patient breathe. Students will receive training on insertion of a supraglottic airway, which can be used when intubation has failed or when airway management is needed for trapped patients.

ALS – BLS Skills.

For students who want to become advanced level clinicians or work on a 911 ambulance, this training prepares EMT students to work with and assist a Paramedic. Designed by a paramedic; our course will teach you how to assist in setting up for procedures, for advanced airway, maintaining a sterile field, attaching leads for an electrocardiogram (EKG), setting up an automatic chest compression device and much more. When seconds count, be the one everyone can count on.

EMT Program Completion Certificate

After successful completion of the EMT Program, each student earns a certificate of completion, making them eligible to take the NREMT exam to obtain certification.
