EMT Instructors are certified by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Office of Emergency Medical Services as EMT Instructor/Coordinators. For our CPR programs, all instructors are certified by the American Heart Association. Our staff includes nationally recognized Instructor Trainers and are certified to teach all levels of both Basic Cardiac Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). We require a minimum of two years instructional experience, but some have been teaching for thirty-five years!
They are chosen for their ability to communicate the hands-on skills necessary for CPR and public access defibrillation, as well as their strong interpersonal skills and confidence-building in this critical area of emergency response to a life-threatening situation. Our student-to-instructor ratio follows AHA guidelines, encouraging active participation and interaction to insure quality training.
