Healthcare Pathway: Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

NFA’s Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program, offered in partnership with American Professional Educational Services, prepares students for careers in emergency healthcare. The program combines classroom instruction, hands-on skills training, practical labs, and ambulance ride time. EMTs provide emergency care from initial patient assessment through hospital transfer or until a higher-level provider takes over. Graduates who successfully complete the program are eligible to sit for the National Registry EMT examination and may pursue opportunities with ambulance services, fire departments, or volunteer organizations.
