So why should you trust Emergency Training Academy for all your training needs? The reasons are many, but here are a few.
Students LOVE our program. View some of our testimonials and you will see how much our students value the course. Our courses follow national standards, including the 2021 National EMS Education Standards for EMT and EMR, and American Heart Association guidelines for CPR and First Aid. However, what makes ETA unique is our teaching approach. Many healthcare providers have told us they’ve learned more in our CPR course than in any they’ve taken before. We focus on helping students leave our courses confident in their skills.
We also created the curriculum for the EMR-to-EMT Bridge Course — the only one of its kind — reducing the number of in-class skill sessions required.
ETA's founder is a nationally recognized author of EMS training materials, having written for Jones and Bartlett, Elsevier, Mosby/JEMS, Prentice Hall (Brady), and McGraw Hill. She wrote the EMT Transition Manual used in refresher courses and contributed chapters to "Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, 11th ed."
Our instructors are dedicated to student success and community service. We don’t just prepare students to pass exams — we prepare them to care for people. We ask ourselves, "Would I trust this student with my loved one’s life?" That’s our benchmark for success. From CPR to EMT, we ensure every graduate is skilled and confident.
We take pride in our high-quality training programs. Every component is tested and validated for effectiveness. Our exams are created with the same rigor as national certification tests, and our instructors have contributed to certification exams and textbooks nationwide. At ETA, quality instruction leads to quality emergency responders.
Our students succeed — and not by chance. While some programs dismiss students to protect pass rates, we support every student through to success. As a result, we have outstanding course completion and certification exam pass rates.
Our team includes educators with decades of EMS experience. The founder has 40 years in EMS education, and several others have over 20 years of experience. This expertise allows us to deliver engaging, dynamic, and effective instruction — and helps us solve problems before they arise.
We operate 24/7, 365 days a year, to meet your training needs. Whether it's one-on-one or a large group, we adapt to your schedule. We offer online and hybrid courses so students can learn at their own pace, with hands-on skills training provided in person. Our online programs are expertly designed to ensure deep understanding, anytime, anywhere.
