EmergyCare's EMT-B Programs are taught in partnership with Butler County Community College and follow 2011 National EMS Education Standards.

Our fast paced course meets several times a week over a 4 month period to allow students the necessary time to learn the course materials and master the highly technical skills
they will need to function as a competent Emergency Medical Technician. During the course, students will learn about anatomy, physiology, proper lifting adn moving, patient
assessment, treatment for cardiac arrest, medical emergencies, and traumatic injuries by participating in a mix of lectures, hand on labs and clinical rotations designed to prepare them for the National Registry of EMT Certification Exams. 

Students also recieve certifications from the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for Hazardous Materials Awareness adn National
Incident Management System (NIMS).
