EMT Training Program

ATEC Ambulance’s EMT program is a fourteen-week training program with hands-on skills and assistance from multiple highly-trained, experienced instructors. ATEC’s Education Department prides themselves in the amount of support and leadership given to each student, not only during the class but also beyond testing and completion of the NREMT (National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians). In our class, you will perform many hands-on skills in a “stress test” style and also complete an MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) drill at the end of the program.
