An Emergency Medical Technician - Basic (EMT-B) works in Emergency Medical Services and is responsible for:
- basic life support at the scene of an emergency
- transport of the sick and injured
- inter-facility transfer within an organized EMS system
Unitek Education is one of only two programs in the entire country which allows their students to graduate EMT certified in two weeks of intense training. Get certified in less time and gain real hands-on experience. This includes a local ride-along, allowing you to experience what it means to be an EMT before achieving certification. Unitek Education also provides testing assistance, for those who need a little extra help.

Boot Camp Details

- All students will have a clinical ride-along in an ambulance or Emergency Room setting. (Not a simulation).
- American Heart Association's Basic Life Support (BLS) / CPR training and card included for all students.
CertificationsUnitek Education's goal is to make each graduate more marketable by offering multiple certifications to prepare new EMT's to be able to meet the needs and requirements of the various types of agencies and EMT can work within. We currently offer 5 certifications. 
- CPR - There are many levels of CPR certifications, and we offer the highest level - Health Care Provider by the American Heart Association. The certification is good for 2 years and is required as a part of EMT-B certification.
- Glucometer - The glucometer is used by EMT's to measure a person's blood sugar level, requiring drawing blood from a patient and reading the blood sugar levels via a glucometer.
- I.V. Maintenance - From time to time, patients need to be transferred from one facility to another with an I.V. already established. This certification enables EMT-Basics to learn and understand I.V. basics. Please understand - this is not a certificate to initiate I.V.'s - rather, it is to learn how to take care of a patient who already has one.
- Advanced Airway - This is a life saving procedure that helps unconscious patients breathe. The student will learn how to perform endotracheal intubation (inserting a breathing tube) as well as being certified on the combitube which can be used in situations when intubation has failed or when airway management is needed for trapped patients.
- Course completion certificate - After successful completion of the 130 hour EMT, each student is given a certificate of completion which makes them eligible to take the NREMT exam to obtain licensure.

Instructional Advantage
 Unitek Education's boot camps are led by a single industry expert. Why is this important to you? Traditional courses require multiple instructors to complete a single course, making it difficult for students to stay on track. Consistency is lost in the classroom as each instructor's teaching style varies. At Unitek Education, however, one excellent lead instructor facilitates the entire program, melding the curriculum into a seamless process that gives Unitek Education's students a more consistent education. We challenge you to find a comparable boot camp which offers this level of advantage!

Our counselors will give you date/location information once we have completed our EMS approval process.
Note that while we will make all efforts to get a double occupancy room for you, the assignment is contingent on your roommate preference and availability.
Each day the boot camp starts at 8:00 am sharp and continues until 8:00 pm. (Note: Hours may change slightly based on instructor/classroom feedback)
 NREMT Guarantee
If you do not obtain your national registry after taking the NREMT exam you can attend a future boot camp for free. Unitek Education will pay for the testing fees associated with the NREMT for both the first and second (if needed) NREMT exam.

(We will charge you a non-refundable registration fee of $250.00, $60 per night of hotel, books, and prorated hours of instruction.) All training materials must remain with the instructor at the time of withdrawal.
