Take Control of Your Future
TRAIN TO BE AN EMERGENCY MEDCAL TECHNICIAN (EMT-BASIC)
Do you have an interest in helping others who are injured?
Do you want to make a difference and be an important part
of an emergency team? Train to become an EMT in only four
(4) months. It is the rst step on a pathway to a career as a
paramedic or a variety of other careers in health care.
These technicians are skilled in the provision of basic life support
for the many illnesses and accidents that require emergency
medical treatment prior to arrival in a hospital emergency
department. EMTs are trained in patient immobilization and
packaging procedures needed to prevent further injury and to
provide safe transport to an appropriate medical facility.
