Accelerated EMT Certification: EMT B Training

Project Heartbeat’s 5-Week Accelerated EMT Training Program is designed to quickly prepare you for state and national EMT Basic licensure, then get you out into the workforce with job placement assistance.

Our comprehensive curriculum includes didactic lecture, realistic emergency simulation training, clinical ride-a-longs and interactive participation methods to train you for a career on a BLS or CCT Ambulance. Mastery of course topics and psycho motor skills can be completed in 18 days.  In total, 5 consecutive weeks from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. will provide 160 hours of didactic and skills training.  In addition, 24 hours of ambulance ride-a-long will total of 184+ hours of in depth training.

Due to the accelerated nature of the program, Project Heartbeat’s EMT program is taught with strict structure and discipline. It is an intense course that requires hard work and dedication. Our EMT Program is not a “PAY TO PASS” type of program. Our goal is to train our EMTs to be confident and prepare them for real-world scenarios.

Project Heartbeat’s EMT Training Program fulfills the training requirements set forth by the State of California in Title 22 of the California Code of regulations Division 9, Chapter 2, for Emergency Medical Technician Basics.
