Advanced EMT (AEMT) Course Online
Advanced Emergency Medical Technician Course

All of the didactic portion of the course is completed online in the LMS. This includes recorded lectures, videos, quizzes, exams and interactive activities.

When you complete your enrollment your book/s are shipped from the publisher Jones & Bartlett. We are currently using AAOS Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured 2nd Edition for the AEMT course. This new book is designed to follow the new Advanced EMT level as established by the National EMS Educational Guidelines.

Students can use email, live chat or the LMS chat system to communicate with instructors 24 hours a day. Typically a live instructor is only available during normal business hours, but leaving a message will ensure a prompt reply. In cases where a student needs to speak to an instructor by phone, we will be happy to arrange a time to call you.

The final portion of the Advanced EMT (AEMT) course is the hands on instruction. Once the student has completed and passed the online course work they must attend and pass 6 days of hands on practical training. This can be done at our facilities in Post Falls, Idaho OR our instructors can come to your facility for groups of 5 or more.
