EMT Classes & Certification in Orlando, FL

Start Your EMS Career in Central Florida

Metro Orlando is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, and it hosts millions of visitors every year. That means busy 911 systems and steady demand for trained EMTs. With your EMT certification and Florida license, you can pursue roles with county and city fire rescue departments, private ambulance and interfacility transport services, hospital emergency departments, and the medical teams at theme parks, stadiums, convention venues and large events.

For many students, the EMT course is also the first step toward a career as a firefighter, paramedic or registered nurse, or a way to gain hands-on patient-care experience before nursing, medical or physician assistant (PA) school. We train “street ready” EMTs who are prepared for real calls.

Orlando EMT Classes: Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I take EMT classes online in Orlando?

  Yes, most of the course is online. You complete the coursework online at your own pace. The hands-on skills sessions and the National Registry skills testing event are in person at our Orlando training center, and clinical rotations take place with partner hospitals and EMS agencies.

• How long is the EMT program?

  Students have six months from their start date to finish every part of the course, including the online coursework, skills days and clinical rotations. Since you set your own pace online, you can move faster if your schedule allows.
