EMT Basic
The Utah EMT-Basic course is a comprehensive 120 hour program where the students will learn all the skills and gain the knowledge necessary to go on to take Utah's State EMT-Basic Certification exam. Crestview Medical Group has only hired the best instructors from fire departments, EMS agencies and hospitals to offer the highest caliber of training possible.
The EMT Program can have a student ready to go to work as an EMT-Basic in as little as 3-4 months. Following our classroom time, Crestview Medical Group EMT students will do exciting ride and clinical times with ambulance agencies and hospitals throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Under close supervision from practicing EMTs and Paramedics, these ride and clinical times will further prepare students for the time when they themselves are functioning pre-hospital providers.
