EMS Academy uses the Jones & Bartlett Learning Management System which includes Interactive Lectures, eBook Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured 11th Edition, Audio Book, Flash Cards, PowerPoints, Virtual Ride Along Videos, BLS Skills Demonstration Videos, Quizzes and Exams to master their didactic skills. We incorporate a Zoom Orientation to ensure you are confident using this system!
Students will complete the didactic distributive, virtual instructor led and asynchronous online portions for the lectures and will be coming to the school for your in-person Skills Labs preparing you for the Massachusetts State Practical Exam. This format and program have been extremely extraordinarily successful with repeated 100% Passing their MA State Practical Exam.
EMS Academy’s Hybrid EMT Courses are designed for all students who want to add to and achieve their career paths and receive an EMT certification. This EMT course prepares students to take the Massachusetts psychomotor examination and the National Registry of EMTs written examination. Students will complete the didactic aspect of the program via distributive online program and then transition to in-person Skills Labs at our Marshfield or Cambridge College location for hands on practical skills training.
In keeping with the updated guidance from Governor Baker in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, EMS Academy is an approved Essential Business and just the same as all Essential Businesses, there are safety procedures we have in place for the safety of you, the customer, our Instructors, Teaching Assistants, Faculty and all who may come to EMS Academy.
As these EMT Courses are Hybrid, all didactic content shall be delivered using distributive, or virtual instructor led methods, to decrease the time students are in contact with others. When we do our Skills Labs throughout the course, we will be in-person for our Skills Lab Sessions!
I have empathy for all of you as I know this has been an extremely challenging time for all of us. We will continue to do what is right, with best practices for the safety of all. Thank you for your patience.
NOTE: COVID-19 Update from the State:
Every attempt shall be made to deliver didactic content using distributive, or virtual instructor led methods to decrease the time students are in contact with others. For in-person components of courses, (Skills Labs), training providers must implement a symptom monitoring program, which EMS Academy has and does practice each and every in-person Skills Lab session. You will be trained on this as you come on campus for your in-person Skills Labs.

State of MA Course Information:
EMT-Basics provide basic emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical system. EMTs possess the basic knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and transportation, and they function as part of a comprehensive EMS response under medical oversight. EMT-Basics perform interventions with the basic equipment typically found on an ambulance. The initial training course for EMT-Basics consists of Didactic (classroom) learning that follows the National EMS Education Standards published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In order to be eligible to be certified as an EMT-Basic, a person must: Be at least 18 years of age; Abstain from the abuse of drugs which impairs professional judgment and/or practice; Be free of any physical or mental impairment or disease which could reasonably be expected to impair the ability to be an EMT, or which could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the health and safety of the patient; Meet the training requirements applicable to the level of certification. Obtain National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) certification by successfully completing a Massachusetts psychomotor (practical) examination and NREMT cognitive (computer-based) examination. Once an individual obtains NREMT certification, they must apply for Massachusetts certification in order to work as an EMT-Basic in the Commonwealth.
