To complete the EMR course, three components must be completed.  

1: The first is the theory component which consists of text book and work book material.  This should be read and completed prior to the classroom sessions.

2: The classroom component can be done by either completing the  Part Time evening course or the Full Time BLITZ course.

The Part Time evening EMR course is a convenient way to work your way through the Emergency Medical Responder course.  It will run over two evenings / week for 7 weeks followed by skill sessions until competent.  The next P/T EMR course is scheduled to start on March 26, 2012.

The Full Time EMR Blitz course is a quick and efficient way of completing the classroom component and is held from 9:00 - 4:00 for a full week. This is by far the quickest, most efficient means of gaining your Emergency Medical Responder certificate.  It does require a substantial amount of pre course study, but this can be done at your own pace prior to the blitz week.  We would provide you with the text as soon as possible for you to study at your own pace prior to the class.  The course dates above would be spent as a review and for skills instruction.  Students do very well in this format if they have time to pre-study and the week available for the course.  The next BLITZ course is scheduled for March 19-24, 2012.

3: Following either method of the EMR Classroom training mentioned above, there are also skills nights that integrate the theory and practical skills to combine your knowledge and skills.


Successful completion of the EMR course provides the student with an accredited Emergency Medical Responder certificate.  Many students go on to write the provincial EMT exam and start working on the ambulance, or go on to higher levels of Paramedic training, fire fighting, 911 dispatch, law enforcement, etc.  The provincial exam needs to be taken within one year of completing the program.

Both courses are the same cost, $1250.00.
