Arizona EMT Basic Training

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) play a crucial role in healthcare, acting as the first responders during emergencies. They are dispatched by 911 operators and frequently collaborate with police and fire department personnel. EMTs provide vital medical care, ensuring patients receive prompt attention and transportation to the nearest hospital.

Given the high-risk nature of their work, EMTs must undergo rigorous training to excel in their roles. Our comprehensive, hands-on EMT basic training program equips you to join this community of dedicated healthcare professionals and make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. Our training courses cater to the needs of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), military, public, and private sectors, providing essential real-world skills across various disciplines. Our EMT programs range from basic to intermediate levels, accommodating professionals with different backgrounds and skill sets.

No, EMT basic training participants are responsible for their own hotel accommodations and travel arrangements to and from the course location.

If you’re making travel arrangements to attend our EMT program, we recommend that you arrive in town the day before the course.
