Class Description
An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) is an emergency responder trained to provide emergency medical care to the critically ill or injured. EMTs provide care in many settings that can include working on an ambulance, in a hospital, or medical office.

EMTs are trained in entry-level emergency medical care including the critical skills necessary for rapid response, initial patient assessment and treatment, patient immobilization, patient extrication and movement, and transportation. This course includes all the necessary education and skills needed to qualify for the State of Connecticut and National Registry EMT Certification Exam(s).
