Emergency Training Academy, Inc., a leader in EMT Training and CPR & First Aid Training in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Nationwide, has a new EMS Training Center in Thorndale, PA. ETA offers online, hybrid, and in-class EMS Courses including Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training, CPR and First Aid Training, EMT Refresher courses, EMT Instructor Training, MCI/ICS training, Babysitter Classes, online continuing education, and many more. ETA was the first state certified EMS Training Institute to offer hybrid EMT courses in Pennsylvania. We have perfected our course to where students can complete an EMT course with only 2-3 in-class skills sessions. All other coursework is completed online - at your own pace. Take as much or as little time as you need. ETA also offers American Heart Association CPR and First Aid training programs. If you have a group of 6 or more, we can schedule a private class, either at our location or yours. Here's what former students are saying about our classes. "The instructors were outstanding.  Some of us came knowing a bit, some came THINKING we knew a bit, and some came without much of a foundation at all.  All of us left infinitely better providers.  The unsure were given the tools for success, and they were great at challenging those of us who were confident without being demeaning.   I was really wary about taking a hybrid course, and I'll admit I questioned even at the end of the didactic work whether or not I'd have a foundation that was strong enough to build on.  That uncertainty was gone after day 2." - Matt C. [EMT student] "This course was the best choice I've ever made. I feel smarter and more competent as a health care provider. If you are unsure about the quality of this course, don't be it's perfect!" - Lily Y. [EMT student] "The instructors were great, they made a very fun and very interactive learning environment. I know many other students and I benefitted immensely from their teachings. Thank you so much for everything. You guys/girls Rock!" Sarah D. [EMT student] "Tyler, Gabriel, Oksanna, and Hannah are excellent instructors. All are knowledgable, communicative, and approachable. Cathy is friendly, extremely responsive, and very helpful at administering the course. I feel the level of education provided by ETA truly prepared me for NREMT exams. The instructors have great chemistry, and provide their own experiences and expertice on a variety of focused subjects." - Ryan G. [EMT student] "The instructors were very very knowledgeable, committed, and encouraging." - William H. [EMT student] "This course was great. It taught me everything I need to know as an EMT & everything needed to be known for NREMT exams and then some. I would suggest anyone wanting to be an EMT take this course. The environment was friendly, welcoming, and helpful to my success." Tyler R. [EMT student]
