EMT & WEMT Bridge Course

Service Description

The EMT-1 course is 160+ hours long and combines the standard Department of Transportation Emergency (DOT) Medical Technician & State of Alaska EMT-1 curriculum, meeting the standards for the National Registry of EMT's (NREMT). Current SOLO WFR's can upgrade to the WEMT certification upon passing the NREMT exam. The EMT-1 course provides basic life support training for the pre-hospital setting including skills such as splinting, hemorrhage control, airway management, oxygen therapy, BLS CPR, medication administration, triage, rescue team management, patient transport, and so much more. The EMT course is delivered in a hybrid format (flipped classroom). Some of the learning is done at home via assignments and textbook reading so that classroom time is spent on practical skills and simulations. A scheduled ambulance ride-a-long shift (usually 8-12 hours) will also be required. Required Textbook: Emergency Care, 14th Edition/Limmer, O'Keefe Workbook: Emergency Care, 14th Edition/Limmer, O'Keefe Students will be provided a digital copy of each book, but should you choose to purchase copies, they can be found on Amazon. This course begins 7/14/27 and ends on 7/29/27, on a Monday-Friday schedule, 9am-6pm each day. After successful completion of all program requirements, students will be able to test for State of Alaska or National Registry EMT exams.
