Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) work in ambulances to provide emergency care to the sick and injured. 

EMTs have learned basic and advanced medical skills to help patients during transport to nearby medical centers.

EMTs many times work with other public safety professionals during rescues involving everything from car accidents and plane crashes to medical emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes.

EMTs usually collaborate with another EMT or a paramedic in ambulances and fire trucks. 

Usually, one person drives while the other works on the patient. To take care of their patients, EMTs are well-versed in medical procedures, medical ethics, advanced life support, and special rescue techniques.

All candidates must complete an approved EMT program recognized by the state office of EMS, and then successfully pass their National Registry Certification Exams.

Only attending the class does NOT certify you as an EMT. You must pass your national exams in order to become certified

All Georgia EMT programs must be recognized and approved by the state office of EMS. 

Faithful Guardian Training Center works closely with our state training specialist to offer you the most up-to-date information and prepare you for your national certification.

When you begin your EMT training you will have many options available.  The two main avenues to obtain your certification are to complete a program at a technical school or private school.

Faithful Guardian Training Center is a private school located in the West Georgia area that specializes in emergency medical and safety education. Our focus is on occupational safety and health education.
