Class Descriptions
EMT-Basic
Class covers 42 sessions of both evening and some Saturday full days.
Lectures and lab sessions are explained in the course syllabus. These
classes break down to 24 lectures and 18 lab sessions. At the completion of
this course the students that meet the state minimal requirements will be
allowed to take the Rhode Island State and National Licensure test to become
certified NREMT-Basics. Students will learn Skills in Basic Life Support,
Respiratory Emergencies, Trauma Emergencies, vehicle extrication, and a new
section on Terrorism awareness as it pertains to EMS. There will also be
sections on medication administration, use of Automated External
Defibrillators, and ambulance operations. Students will also be required to
document 8 hours of observation time in a hospital Emergency Room. Students
are responsible for all transportation to and from all classes. Students
must obtain a minimum 70% grade point average on all quizzes, the mid-term
exam, and final exam to be able to attend the state licensure exam. Lab
sessions will have the students involved with hands on practice of learned
skills with experienced EMS Instructors and their fellow students. Students
shall be responsible to bring with them a working wristwatch, as this piece
of equipment is an essential piece of your work uniform once you pass your
licensure exam and begin working as a Rhode Island EMT. There will be a
10-student minimum to run the EMT – B program. If there are not more than 10
students, those that have given tuition will have the option of a
reimbursement or to be added to the next EMT – B Session.
EMT-Cardiac
Requirements: Successful completion of EMT-B and current CPR. Program
presented in 40 classes, 20 lecture and 20 lab sessions. Lectures and lab
sessions are explained in the course syllabus. Our instructors are able to
concentrate on smaller groups and deliver more intently on skills necessary
in the practice of EMT Cardiac. At the completion of the program, those
students that have successfully completed the minimal state requirements
will be allowed to then take the Rhode Island state licensure exam to become
a certified Rhode Island Emergency Medical Technician – Cardiac. Unlike
others, we provided ACLS training as part of the curriculum.
EMT-Paramedic
Requirements: Successful completion of EMT-B and current CPR. Program
requires a huge commitment and consists of over 400 hours of classroom
lecture/didactic and over 500 hours of clinical setting training and
demonstration of skill. In addition a significant time is spent riding on an
approved 911 rescue. Because of the intensity of this course, a preliminary
interview will need to take place with the owner and/or staff of American
Safety Programs.
EMT
Basic, Cardiac & Paramedic Refreshers
Course is held in 15 session's total, 11 for Basics, 15 for Cardiacs and 20
for Paramedics. This allows us to follows the state required standards for
recertification at a student's licensure level. Those students meeting the
required minimum state standards students will receive certifications of
completion. All Rhode Island EMT's are required to attend a refresher course
for recertification of licensure. There will be a 10-student minimum to run
the EMT- R Class. If there are not 10 or more students registered for the
class, the students that have provided tuition will have the option of

At successful completion of the course the student will receive a certificate to forward to the state verifying the course completion.
There will be a 4-student minimum to run the EOA – Mast Update Class. If there are not 4 or more students registered for the class, the students that have provided tuition will have the option of reimbursement or to be added to the next EOA-Mast program.
12 Lead
ECG Interpretation
This program is a combination class. It can be a four (4) hour awareness and
operations class, or it may be a complete eight (8) hour day class.
As the use in the field of the 12 Lead ECG Monitors become more prevalent and the importance of using these devices becomes more obvious, the EMT becomes a great tool in reducing the pre-hospital mortality of CAD. Students are taught how to obtain and interpret 12 lead ECG's. And in the eight (8) hour course students are taught further skills in recognizing specific distracters of the ECG.
There will be a 4-student minimum to run the 12 – Lead ECG Class. If there are not 4 or more students registered for the class, the students that have provided tuition will have the option of reimbursement or to be added to the next 12 – lead ECG Class.
Endo
Tracheal Intubation
This four (4)-session program deals with the advanced invasive airway skill

skill after licensure.
