Accelerated Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Course

The course is open to anyone, however, this course is designed primarily for college students—especially pre-med, pre-PA, nursing, and other pre-health students—looking to earn EMT certification and gain hands-on clinical experience. 

No. Prior medical experience is not necessary. We’ll teach you everything you need to know to become a certified EMT.

The course runs for 2 weeks straight Monday-Saturday, with classes from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM in Cottage Grove, MN. There is minimal online coursework (40 hours) to complete before the in-person portion begins.

You’ll be asked to complete 40 hours of federally required training modules and introductory EMT readings. This material will focus primarily on human anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology. If you have a strong grasp of these concepts already, it will go quickly. These should be done before in-person day 1 to ensure you're ready for hands-on training.

We emphasize scenario-based training, led by paramedics and physicians, to mirror real emergency situations. You won’t just memorize content—you’ll apply it in simulated field conditions.

Upon successful completion, you’ll be eligible to take the National Registry EMT exam. Once passed, you can work as an EMT in most states.
