 EMT Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What does an EMT-I do?
A: An Advanced Emergency Medical Technician  (A-EMT) is the entry-level certification for an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider. EMTs typically work on an ambulance responding to medical / trauma emergencies. EMTs can also work in other areas including private transportation, hospital emergency departments and fire / rescue agencies. There are no pre-requisite courses needed for the AEMT program, but the student must be 18 years of age, have a high school diploma or GED prior to taking the Certification Exam and have up to date immunizations.Q: What do you learn in class?
A: ERTSS training programs teach above and beyond the basic requirements for AEMT. Our students learn not only how to treat patients experiencing medical and traumatic emergencies, but also why. Our additional Assessment and Hands-On Skill Lab sessions produce EMTs capable of acting with confidence in all manner of emergencies!

Q: What Textbook will be used in the class?A:  Advanced Care of the Sick and Injured, 2nd Edition  and workbook, BCLS For Healthcare Providers 2010. You are responsible for purchasing your Textbooks as this is not included in the Tuition Fee. To order your Student Textbook and Workbook call  888-244-5929 and speak to Richard Kalasky.

Q: What employment opportunities will I have as a new EMT?
A: A new EMT can apply for work in a variety of fields. Private ambulance companies and municipal EMS services employee entry level EMTs. Emergency Departments hire EMTs to act as Patient Care Technicians (PCTs). Many Fire Departments across the United States now make EMT certification a prerequisite for employment. New EMT Intermediates will typically earn from $10-$15 / hr. While ERTSS does not offer job placement per se, we can assist you in contacting local employers of EMS personnel. Professional emergency training is an attractive item to have on a resume for a job or school application in any field.
