The Emergency Medical Responder training program provides a detailed and comprehensive approach for managing out-of-hospital medical emergencies prior to the arrival of EMS. This is the perfect course for anyone looking for an EMT prep course.
The program is designed to provide non-EMS responders more depth and exposure to standard first aid training topics to provide richer and more advanced training. It meets and exceeds workplace first aid training requirements and satisfies the desire to learn more than just basic first aid without the burden associated with EMS provider training and certification.
Emergency Medical Responder provides comparable training to that of Emergency Medical Responder, the base-level training for EMS providers, although the program is not intended for training EMS providers or preparing students to be eligible for EMS provider testing and certification.
This course is intended for individuals who are not EMS or healthcare providers but desire certification in Emergency Medical Response, such as:
- Law enforcement officers
- Correctional officers
- Security personnel
- Event and crowd control staff
- Lifeguards
- Park rangers
- Workplace Emergency Response Team (ERT) members
- Disaster team members
- Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members
- Athletic trainers
- Outdoor guides
All students must have current certification in healthcare-level CPR training, or Basic Life Support (BLS).
BLS training and certification can also be done concurrently as part of an Emergency Medical Responder class.
