All Squad members are certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). We offer EMT training onsite at our own facility, led by experienced, state-certified instructors. One of the key advantages of running our own training program is the ability to provide personalized instruction and adapt to the unique needs of each student.
In addition to delivering high-quality medical training, our in-house program fosters teamwork, camaraderie, and a strong sense of community—contributing to the fact that our members tend to remain with the Squad for longer than average.
