We pride ourselves in certifying quality EMS educators and thus continually assess our curriculum for cutting-edge techniques and evidence-based instructional methods.

 

Course Description:

This comprehensive EMS Instructor Course is fully aligned with the DOT/NHTSA 2002 National Guidelines for Educating EMS Instructors, covering the modules through an innovative asynchronous online format. The program represents both the theoretical foundation and practical application necessary to begin your journey as an EMS instructor. We recognize that developing professional EMS educators requires a solid foundation in educational theory, adult learning principles, and evidence-based teaching methodologies. This course provides that foundation through 24 hours of carefully structured online learning that you can complete at your own pace.

 

The coursework is designed at the undergraduate level and focuses on instructional methodology rather than clinical skills. You won't learn "how to backboard" - you'll learn how to teach others to master such skills. The educational principles covered apply broadly across teaching environments, making this valuable for instruction in any setting. The course includes self-assessment opportunities and requires participants to create professionally developed instructional materials.
