Our Summer 2025 EMT program will begin on Monday, June 2nd, 2025 and will end on Saturday, August 9th, 2025. This 10-week program will be delivered using a blended learning style. ​

​The primary educational portion of this course will be delivered online using our digital learning platform, Brady MyLabs, with the course e-textbook integrated into it. There will be weekly class meetings, both in-person and remote, to review the material and exams for that week. The design of this course requires absolute dedication from enrolled students as they navigate through independent study, with instructor facilitated assessments to ensure proficiency in each topic. Students will have access to all necessary resources needed to successfully complete this program, after purchasing access to Brady MyLabs(not included in the course tuition). Students must maintain the required academic average as defined in the program policies and procedures, to complete the program. ​

​The psychomotor (skill) portion of this program will be conducted in person, in the classroom. Skill lab sessions will be taught by our talented staff of NYS EMS Instructors. Skill lab sessions in this program are conducted on some Mondays and Wednesdays from 6pm-10pm, and Saturdays, from 9am-5pm (as listed on the schedule). 

​It is strongly suggested, but not required, that all students be vaccinated against Hepatitis B, covid-19, and the Flu. Students will be required to complete 16 hours of ambulance rotations, during which they will be managing sick or injured patients who may have Hepatitis-B, Covid-19, the Flu Virus, or any other variety of communicable diseases. ​

​Students must have a valid government ID, such as a state issued driver’s license, state issued ID card, or passport. Your ID will be required the first night of class.
