Hybrid Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program
Are you interested in starting a great career in EMS as an EMT but don’t have the time for a traditional classroom program? Would you like to learn all the skills and information around your busy schedule? Consider our online Hybrid EMT course. This program is intended for those who want to gain employment as a firefighter, emergency care technician at a hospital and ambulance attendant. It is also for those individuals who are planning on attempting to obtain a higher level of medical training such as RN, PA, or physician.
Please review both the Hybrid and the Traditional Classroom program descriptions. There are tradeoffs doing a Hybrid course vs a Traditional Classroom program. You have to be disciplined and not procrastinate while in a Hybrid program. Must be an organized individual and have good time management skills for a Hybrid program. You are more isolated during a Hybrid program and learning medicine is a “team sport.” A Hybrid course is not for everyone. Feel free to contact our office if you have questions which is better for you.
