ALASKA EMT-1

Building upon prior EMR or ETT education, students develop additional knowledge, assessment skills, and emergency treatment capabilities associated with Alaska EMT-1 training.

Prior EMR or ETT education, applicable credentials, and course prerequisites must be verified before enrollment. TacLine's planned 50-hour EMR/ETT foundation plus this 90-hour bridge totals 140 instructional hours, subject to approval of the complete educational pathway. Course completion does not automatically confer certification. Students must meet applicable Alaska certification, examination, and eligibility requirements.
