New Bedford Day Fast Track

The New Bedford EMT Day Fast Track Program prepares students to provide emergency medical care to victims of accidents and sudden illness. Students’ skills in symptom recognition, emergency care procedures, and techniques are considered to be within the responsibilities of an EMT. Emergency Medical Technicians provide routine and emergency medical care with an ambulance service, as well as in hospitals and clinics. Becoming an EMT is the first step towards becoming a paramedic.

The New Bedford EMT Day Fast Track program is an 8-week course, held Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 am-1:00 pm. This is a blended learning course. The in-person times are for hands on practical training with a live Instructor. The hours of this program are built to accommodate mothers, third shift workers, and others with nontraditional schedules.

The smaller class size allows you maximum practice time with Instructors. Our program consists of classroom and skill training and the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational opportunities. This program exceeds the US DOT/DPH/OEMS guidelines. The instructional staff consists of experienced EMTs with years of experience as EMS educators.
