Continuing Education Certificate Programs

EMT Training in the Bronx Online

In this comprehensive course, you will develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to care for patients at the scene of an accident and while transporting patients by ambulance to the hospital. EMTs have the emergency skills to assess a patient's condition and manage respiratory, cardiac, and trauma emergencies. They must be certified by the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in NY, part of the NYS Department of Health (NYSDOH).

Between 2016-2026, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the total number of EMTs and paramedic jobs will increase by 24% in New York.
