AEC offers Virginia EMT-Basic, NREMT-Intermediate and NREMT-Paramedic Programs. The intermediate and paramedic programs are located primarily in Manassas (SJVFD). See our Campus Information page for more details.
AEC's NREMT-Intermediate program offers
currently certified EMT-Basics the opportunity to expand their
knowledge of EMS skills from basic life support to advanced life
support. This transition from BLS to ALS is not one to be taken
lightly, and it is this reason why we recommend that prospective
students have some previous experience as a BLS
provider. However, with proper instruction and true
dedication on the students' part, the experience will be very
rewarding. The class consists of 304 hours of classroom learning
and 232 hours of clinical/field training. A complete breakdown of required clinical hours and competencies can be found here.
Reading assignments, homework, quizzes and
exams will be given on a regular basis. Classroom sessions will
meet from 7:00pm to 10:00pm twice a week and on many Saturdays from
9:00am to 4:00pm. In order to graduate, students must maintain a
class average of 80% and meet minimum attendance requirements.
For further details on this class, please see our program policy manual
or contact our office at (301) 748-9981.
AEC's NREMT-Paramedic program offers currently
certified NREMT-Intermediates a chance to take what they
have learned and applied as intermediates and further their
education. This program is similar to our intermediate
program in the number of classroom/clinical hours, patient contacts and
administration of homework, quizzes and exams. Classroom sessions
mirror the intermediate schedule. For further details on this
class, please see our program policy manual or contact our office at
(301) 748-9981.
