The Initial AEMT Hybrid Course offered by North American Rescue Training and Education (NAR-T) is a comprehensive program designed to prepare you for certification as an Advanced EMT (AEMT). This course combines the flexibility of online learning with essential hands-on training, providing 241.5 hours of education. You'll gain the knowledge and skills needed to excel in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and prepare for the National Registry AEMT exams.

To enroll in the Initial AEMT Hybrid Course, you must hold a current Basic Life Saver/CPR Certification and be certified as an EMT by the National Registry (NREMT) or your state. Additional prerequisites include uploading a Course Enrollment Agreement, High School Diploma or GED, and valid identification. This course is ideal for EMTs looking to advance their careers in EMS.

The course is divided into online learning and in-person skills training. The online portion is accessible 24/7 and includes 241.5 hours of educational content, virtual simulation scenarios, and test prep tools. The in-person training is held at our Las Vegas facility, consisting of a 6-day hands-on skills week, psychomotor skills testing, and two 12-hour clinical ride-alongs with local EMS providers.

The Initial AEMT Hybrid Course is designed to be completed in as little as 90 days, but you have up to one year to finish all requirements, including the online modules, hands-on skills labs, and clinical rotations. If you need additional time or face any challenges, our support team can assist you with your options. The course must be completed within one year from the start date. No extensions are granted 

Upon successfully completing the course and passing the National Registry AEMT written and psychomotor exams, you will be eligible for NREMT certification as an Advanced EMT (AEMT). The course is designed to meet all educational requirements for certification, and you will receive a Certificate of Completion from NAR-T, which is recognized by relevant health departments and EMS agencies.

After completing your online course, attending skills week, participating in your ride along, and submitting all required paperwork to the registration manager, your next step is to schedule your National Registry AEMT written exam at a third-party testing facility. To do this, you will need to schedule your exam through the Pearson Vue website at https://home.pearsonvue.com. They have testing facilities worldwide, so you can find a location nearest to you.

We do not offer payment plans for significant reasons. The course is designed for self-paced distance learning and can be completed in a "boot camp style" in as little as 30 days. Full payment is a prerequisite for accessing the course modules.

Since we are a distance learning training school, we also do not require students to purchase uniforms, or have any kind of dress code policy for the in-person skills. 

Currently, North American Rescue Training & Education does not accept financial aid.
