Emergency Medical Technician

Emergency Medical Technicians provide care to ill and injured individuals in critical times, often making the difference between life and death.  EMTs work in a number of different environments including on ambulances and in hospital Emergency Departments.  Personnel work in both volunteer and paid positions for municipal (government) and commercial agencies.  Coverage is provided for emergencies 24 hours/day and 7 days/week with some employers offering non-traditional work weeks including 8, 12, and 24 hour shifts.  This occupation is expected to grow by 19% between 2006 and 2016 per the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

EMT-Basic Course Description: Our course exceeds the National Department of Transportation and the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health's, guidelines for an Emergency Medical Technician - Basic.
This exciting and demanding program introduces the EMT-B candidate to basic human anatomy and physiology, response to emergencies, and the treatment and transportation of ill or injured individuals. The course curriculum involves lectures, hands-on practical training, and emergency department observation time.

Candidates that successfully complete both testing phases will be scheduled for the Connecticut State final written and National Registry EMT Basic practical exams.
