Traditional EMT Course Description

Code One’s 180-hour Traditional Connecticut / National Registry EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) program prepares participants to respond to medical emergencies in a manageable 9- or 13-week format. EMTs respond to emergency 911 calls, assess ill and injured individuals, administer life-saving interventions, and transport patients to hospital Emergency Departments aboard ambulances for further treatment. This exciting and demanding course covers human anatomy and physiology, treatment of sick and injured individuals, and transportation of these patients to the hospital.

The course curriculum involves interactive lectures, hands-on practical training, and 20 hours of clinical observation time in a variety of settings including onboard ambulances and in hospital emergency departments. Code One’s instructors are experienced EMS professionals who bring real-world situations into the classroom. A blend of hands-on practice and interactive lectures prepare Code One EMT students for certification testing and to work as an EMS provider.

Code One’s success is proven with student pass rates exceed national and state averages, and many of our graduates work and volunteer for many EMS services throughout the country including as firefighters, police officers, military, and federal agents. Many Code One grads have continued their education and are now paramedics and nurses.
