On September 8, 2026, the National EMS Academy will begin its next 12-week EMT training program designed to get you on the front lines faster.
The National EMS Academy streamlines the path to certification without sacrificing quality. The EMT class’ hybrid format blends flexible online coursework with intensive, hands-on field training, ensuring you gain the real-world confidence required to save lives.
