EMT Basic/Cardiac Refresher

Tuition Includes:

911Programs understandst that most EMS providers work long hours - often at more than one place of employment. Busy schedules such as these make it difficult if not impossible to attend refresher training. Beginning February 1, 2014, 911Programs is offering an "Anytime Refresher" (any time the office is open). We have EMS instructors on staff daily. If you need an EMT or EMT-Cardiac refresher, contact the office to set up appointments. At least 24 hours advance notice is required. Tuition payable by cash, check, money order, cashiers check, paypal, or credit card.

Note: The current model for recertification of EMS licensure in Rhode Island is to follow the National Core Competency Program of the NREMT. This information is available on the NREMT website (www.nremt.org). In summary, EMTs must complete 40 hours of training in 3 content categories (20 hours of national-selected content, 10 hours of state/local - selected content, and 10 hours of individual-selected content). Advanced EMTs (AEMTs) must complete 50 hours (25 , 12.5, and 12.5 respectively). RI EMT-Cs must complete the AEMT portion then complete and ALS portion of approximately 12 hours.

Basic Refresher Tuition: $300

AEMT Refresher Tuition: $360

Cardiac Refresher Tuition: $600 (AEMT portion of $360 plus an additional $240)

Course Information

Rhode EMT and EMT-C licenses expire on December 31st of each year. Consequently, this refresher ends on November 30th and Certificates are printed on the next business day for students who complete the course. By supplying certificates on December 1st (or the first business day following November 30th), it ensures that the student has a full month to apply for license renewal. If a student demonstrates a need to have a certificate issued sooner, that can be arranged.

About Us

HISTORY: 911Programs began in 1991 as New England Academy of Prehospital Medicine, a non-profit corporation created to educate the public in CPR and to provide basic EMT courses in southern Rhode Island.
NEAPM was dissolved and reformed into New England Medical Resources to provide both basic and advanced EMS courses. The EMS education climate changed significanlty in 2002 and NEMR was closed. The company was re-structured and opened under the name 911Programs to provide not only EMS courses but also allied health education with an eventual plan to expand into other vocational areas.
Currently, 911Programs is the fastest growing career technical school in Rhode Island.

COURSES: Currently, 911Programs offers day and evening courses in 12 different programs plus 10 other courses including recertification. All regular programs (i.e phlebotomy, CNA, EMT...) are taught on-site but short courses (i.e. continuing education, refresher...) can be done completely or partially online.

FACULTY: The faculty at 911Programs is carefully selected from among the best providers in Rhode Island. To teach for 911Programs, staff members must not only be qualified and experienced clinicians, but also excellent and experienced instructors.
911Programs monitors instructor performance, takes into account student feedback, and provides mentoring to improve performance in the classroom.

ACCESSIBILITY: This school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, sex, religious or political beliefs. However, as a private adult education institution, we reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone without cause. This school will offer alternate and accessible arrangements for students with disabilities per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) July 26, 1990 section 309. Students must meet with an administrator privately so that arrangements can be made. Click here for more information.
