Accelerated EMT Certification: EMT B Training

Project Heartbeat’s 2-Week Accelerated EMT Didactic 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.

Through a comprehensive course schedule, Project Heartbeat’s accelerated EMT Training Program gets you prepared for state and national licensure in less time. Mastery of course topics and psychomotor skills can be completed in 15 days. In total, 2 consecutive weeks from 8am to 8pm will provide 180 hours of didactic and skills training. In addition, 24 hours of ambulance ride alongs will total 200+ 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.

Our 2.5 week EMT Program is only offered twice a year. Once in the summer months and once in the winter. Our 5-week EMT program is offered year round.
