Be Ready to Help.

We educate and train EMTs to provide exceptional
care in the face of crisis.

Want to Help as an EMT?

We’ll make sure you’re ready.

There’s nothing more empowering than being the person in the room equipped to respond in the face of crisis. Our job is to educate and train you to become that person, offering excellent care – every time.

Part of the process is getting you certified. But not just certified for certification’s sake alone. We want you confidently responding whenever there’s a need, while avoiding the tragic consequences of being underprepared. 

Because – when it’s time to help – the life in your hands is counting on you to get it right.

NMETC Home Icon Testimonials

James Darigan, Massachusetts EMT Graduate

The instructors are knowledgeable, experienced, and have a great ability to make the material understood to almost every student in the class. Couple this with a well thought-out syllabus and the opportunity for plenty of hands-on access and practice with the simulation equipment make for quite a winning combination.

Donald Furlong, Massachusetts EMT Graduate

I’m 53 and had to push myself but thanks to our [instructors], I passed the NREMT exam on the first try and feel that I was actually over prepared for the exam and practicals. In fact two paramedics that I met said that [NMETC] puts out “street ready” EMTs in their opinion. 

Melissa Turner, Tennessee EMT Graduate

[NMETC] provides excellent instruction and lab skills that prepare for a lifetime of service. They are also super accommodating in providing great Vegan food alternatives for lunches during bootcamp too (for my Vegan friends out there)! I’m so grateful for this EMT training experience and the friends I’ve made along the way!

Barry McKee, Florida EMT Graduate
