Online Self-Paced EMT Course

This self-paced EMT course is designed for the busy student who would like to set their own days and hours of learning from home. Our course offers students a user-friendly online learning platform along with a dedicated remote instructor for all of your questions or needs. The self-paced EMT course provides our students with the same education and certification as our in-person course but with the flexibility to pick when you want to complete your coursework and finish your course.

After all online material is completed, we provide an in-person 20-hour skills week at our in-person campus, where students have time to learn from experienced EMS staff, ask questions, and become comfortable with all course material and skills.

Students must complete the online course and skills week in order to register and test for your NREMT. Get started on your journey to becoming an EMT today, and sign up for one of our self-paced online courses.

Great experience taking the only EMT course. Instructors were very available for any questions I had during the online cert. When it came to the hands on week of training I had a great time learning from experienced instructors.

I took the EMT course with Roger Sherman as my instructor. I kid you not, Roger is hands down the best instructor I have ever had in all my years of school. 13/6 recommended taking a course here at IMA!!

IMA provided an easy checkout to select the class I needed. The class went over the required videos, and hands on training. It was a small class with a variety of professions. The teacher was very nice and easy going.
