Our Advanced EMT program is designed to provide the student with the foundation needed to function as an AEMT in the state of New Hampshire, building upon the skills of an EMT-Basic provider. With the Advanced EMT Curriculum as its core, our program adds the latest New Hampshire Transitional modules so our graduates will be fully prepared to practice with a New Hampshire EMS service. This course contains over 200 hours of advanced didactic and clinical education with expanded Anatomy, Trauma and Pediatric pathophysiology modules. This course is once a week on Friday’s from 9am-5pm.

Course and clinical work will allow students to perform advanced level patient assessment, utilize advanced airway devices, recognize lethal dysrhythmias, initiate intravenous and intraosseous fluid therapy, administer medications, and achieve a higher level of clinical decision-making skills. ​ Students who successfully complete this program with an overall 80% average, are eligible to take the National Registry of EMTs examination and subsequently apply for state licensure.
