What is a NAEMT Training Center?
NAEMT education aims to provide globally-accredited training to enhance the knowledge and skills of public and private sector emergency medical services (EMS) practitioners from paramedics, emergency medical technicians and emergency medical responders to other professionals providing pre-hospital and out-of-hospital emergency, urgent or preventive medical care.
To further this mission, the NAEMT partners with reputable third-party training providers like SEMS, who have demonstrated their expertise and capacity to conduct the organization’s rigorous training courses to the required international standards.
NAEMT training center status is granted to those who demonstrate a clear commitment to developing and sustaining a quality EMS training program, long term. Training center status demands adherence to a stringent list of criteria and requires accredited centers to undergo periodic assessment to ensure standards are maintained.
