Our instructors have the pleasure of working with medical students, local firefighters, and others from the Houston area.

EMT-Basic Training in Houston, Texas

The EMT-Basic program at Texas EMS School is meant for students who have never worked in the healthcare field. You’ll start learning the core fundamentals of what is expected of EMTs through online coursework. This course is structured so that you finish online learning objectives in 18 weeks or fewer.

After using our online platform, students will participate in Skills Labs where an instructor from Texas EMS School evaluates their EMT psychomotor skills. While we offer face-to-face Skills Lab sessions at various locations across Texas, students may be required to attend a Skills Lab in another city.  The majority of our students choose to make a single trip to our main location in Abilene, Texas, for completion of the Skills Lab portion of their course. EMT-B training in Houston, Texas, ends with a 48-hour field experience in which you’ll spend time on an ambulance serving the local community.

Advanced EMT (AEMT) Training in Houston, Texas

Current EMTs in Houston can enroll in our Advanced EMT training program to expand their knowledge of ambulance equipment. The goal of AEMT training is to teach students additional lifesaving techniques not covered in the EMT-B course and to allow them to provide ALS-1 (Advanced Life Support) care upon completion. From teaching about severe spinal injuries and trauma to respiratory conditions, Texas EMS School allows you to hold additional responsibilities if you’re hired on by a Houston hospital.

There is a total of 324 hours of instructional time in the AEMT course. Stay up to date with changing demands of the EMT career path for a potential pay increase once it’s time to apply for jobs in Houston.

Paramedic Training Program in Houston, Texas

Obtaining certification to be a Paramedic prepares you for a fast-paced career. Paramedics are some of the most highly trained first responders traveling in an ambulance, and our Paramedic training program teaches students how to administer life support and specialized forms of first-aid treatment. Paramedics are expected to keep patients stable during transport until they can seek a physician’s help. This is why our course features a Capstone internship stage that involves you working as a Lead Paramedic with a nearby hospital.

Texas EMS School accepts students into the Paramedic training program once they have completed the EMT-B level course. Add Paramedic credentials to your resume for a possible promotion and pay increase from your current employer.
