We're building a stronger VT EMS ecosystem by growing the skills of Vermont’s emergency service leaders, practitioners, and instructors. All of our courses are CAPCE approved and work for your professional development credits. These courses are free to all Vermont EMS crews.

Emergency Practitioners
professional development

These courses are for anyone who is a Vermont EMS provider or practitioner. We'll offer one course per month that is all online, but with a synchronous (taught online at specific times) element for real-time feedback and learning.

Leadership & Management
leadership training

These courses are built for anyone else who deals with the realities of running an emergency medical service. Learn best practices, new skills, and means of evaluating yourself, your crew, and your organization. Synchronous online with one in-person meeting.

Instructor Development
Instructor training 

The heart of any statewide system is helping to grow well-trained educators. We help to build the bridge between being a practitioner and being an educator. Not all who "do" can teach, but with a little training, they can learn how to.
