Online 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. It is their responsibility to provide efficient, quality medical care and transport 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, you can join this group of dedicated healthcare providers and make a significant difference in people’s lives.

14-Day EMT Boot Camp

The EMT program is typically offered at our training facility in Tempe, Arizona. It consists of a 14-Day Boot Camp with hands-on exercises, active learning, and clinical simulations. Taught by seasoned EMS professionals, the EMT program consists of 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. Due to the pandemic, however, all EMT courses are temporarily online.

Enrollment Requirements Include:

  • Current American Heart Association Basic Life Support for Healthcare Provider Certification (AHA BLS CPR) – Available at Unitek or at an AHA CPR training center near you.
  • High School Diploma, GED, or official transcript
  • Proof of 9th Grade Reading Level

Online EMT Program FAQs

What is the program structure for the online EMT program?

The online EMT program is still 12 hour days, just like it would be on-ground.

What kind of equipment will I need?

Equipment will be sent to you during the online EMT training program.

Will this affect our EMT pass rate?

As long as you follow the online program syllabus, your pass rate won’t be affected.

Is this a hybrid EMT program?

There will be lectures as well as reading to do on your own. You will also receive instructions for how to do the skills portions of the boot camp.

How will I access the EMT classes?

You will access you online EMT courses using your computer.

Can I use my phone or tablet for the online portion of my EMT training?

You will need to use a desktop or laptop computer for the online EMT boot camp. You will not be able to use an iPad or Phone for the course.

Will this online EMT program work in my state?

Yes.  In fact, you will be Nationally Certified with the NREMT (National Registry of EMT’s).  So, you can work anywhere in the U.S.  You simply need to apply for reciprocity in your state, through your local Department of Health Services.

Will the EMT skills training also be online?

Yes, the EMT skills training will still be taught online, but no Psychomotor Skills Exam will be proctored at the end.  However, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the NREMT is now extending “Provisional Status” EMT Certifications.

What does "Provisional Status" EMT certification mean?

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the NREMT is now extending “Provisional Status” EMT Certifications, which means you must only pass the Written Exam.  The Psychomotor Skills portion is no longer required, and you will have until December 2021 to complete the Psychomotor Skills Exam to become “fully” certified.

Do I receive a discount for switching to online?

No, we’ve actually incurred more cost going online.  Since we are no longer On-Campus, we can no longer have students work in teams during the Medical Emergency Simulations.  With that said, we now have to order more supplies and ship them to each student.

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.

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.
