This flexible format gives working EMTs an Online AEMT Course with in-person skills training without giving up hands-on practice, clinical experience, and competency testing.

The Initial AEMT Hybrid Course includes a comprehensive online Advanced EMT curriculum delivered through Jones & Bartlett Learning (JBL) and the NAR-T Learning Management System.

Students complete the academic portion of their Online AEMT training before attending the required in-person Skills Week. The online curriculum combines reading, interactive learning, skills review, patient cases, assessments, and National Registry exam preparation to help students build a strong foundation before hands-on training.

The curriculum is based on current EMS education standards and is designed to help students connect Advanced EMT knowledge with real-world patient care.


Real-World AEMT Training

Becoming an Advanced EMT requires more than memorizing information. Students must learn how to recognize problems, choose appropriate treatments, perform interventions, and evaluate whether those treatments are working.

NAR-T uses case studies, virtual patient encounters, skills labs, clinical rotations, and realistic patient care simulations to connect online education with real-world EMS practice and build both technical skills and clinical judgment.


Digital Learning Resources

Students receive access to a variety of learning tools designed to support different learning styles.

Online resources include:

  • Digital AEMT textbook and eBook

Case Studies and Virtual Patient Care

Students work through patient cases designed to build critical thinking and clinical judgment.

Case-based activities challenge students to review assessment findings, identify patient problems, select appropriate interventions, and determine the next step in patient care.

The program also includes virtual EMS ride-alongs based on real-world calls such as:

  • Respiratory distress
  • Cardiac arrest
  • Seizures
  • Allergic reactions
  • Trauma
  • Altered mental status
  • Psychiatric emergencies
  • Pediatric emergencies
  • Geriatric emergencies
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Mass-casualty incidents
These activities help connect online AEMT education with the decisions EMS providers make in the field.

Strong AEMT care requires more than technical skills.

Interactive activities also focus on important professional skills such as:

  • Patient communication
  • Teamwork
  • Crew resource management
  • Conflict resolution
  • Leadership
  • De-escalation
  • Problem-solving
  • Clinical communication during high-stress situations
Students practice these skills through interactive scenarios and receive feedback based on the decisions they make.


National Registry AEMT Exam Preparation

Online coursework includes National Registry-style questions and TestPrep resources to help students prepare for the National Registry AEMT Certification Examination.

Students can use practice questions and assessments to identify strengths, review weaker areas, and become familiar with the type of clinical judgment needed for certification testing.

Exam preparation is reinforced throughout the program through chapter quizzes, case studies, patient simulations, course examinations, hands-on training, and the NAR-T AEMT Psychomotor Exam.


Learn Online. Apply It in Person.

The online portion of the Initial AEMT Course builds the knowledge students need before arriving for hands-on training.

Students then bring that knowledge to their 6-day in-person AEMT Skills Week, where they practice skills, manage patient care scenarios, complete clinical experiences, and demonstrate their ability to perform required AEMT competencies.

This combination of Online AEMT education and in-person Advanced EMT training gives students the flexibility of online learning while maintaining the hands-on experience needed for real-world EMS practice.

The 6-day AEMT Skills Week is where online education becomes hands-on patient care.

The Initial AEMT Hybrid Course includes a required 6-day in-person AEMT Skills Week in either Greer, South Carolina, or Las Vegas, Nevada.

Skills Week connects the Online AEMT Course with hands-on skills practice, realistic patient care scenarios, clinical experience, competency testing, and the NAR-T AEMT Psychomotor Exam.

This in-person portion helps students build the practical skills and clinical judgment needed for real-world EMS care. Students leave Skills Week with experience in assessment, treatment, communication, practical skills, clinical decision-making, and patient care scenarios that support their transition from EMT to Advanced Emergency Medical Technician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the NAR-T Initial AEMT Course Approved in My State?

Our Initial EMT/AEMT Hybrid programs are approved initial education programs. Our Las Vegas programs are approved by the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) Office of EMS & Trauma System, and our South Carolina programs are approved by the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH).

Successful completion of the program provides graduates with the educational eligibility required to pursue National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certification. This includes completion of all required online coursework, in-person Skills Week, and clinical/field requirements.

It is important to understand that NREMT certification and state EMS licensure are separate processes. Each state establishes its own requirements for EMS licensure and determines whether it will accept education completed through an out-of-state program.

If you plan to become licensed in a state other than Nevada or South Carolina, we strongly recommend contacting your state's EMS regulatory agency before enrolling.

While we can confirm our program's approval and pathway to NREMT certification, we cannot guarantee that completion of our program will result in certification/licensure in another state. The final determination is made by the EMS regulatory authority in the state where you intend to become certified/licensed.

Customer Reviews


"NAR was a fantastic training facility with some of the most knowledgeable instructors I’ve ever met. They are incredibly willing to help and make sure you have a good grasp and understanding, the program itself (AEMT) was very thorough and detailed and the training facility is amazing. I would recommend NAR to anyone looking for more training and to expand their scope."
- Alexis Estrada (AEMT Student)
"I was looking to upgrade my EMT to AEMT online at a fair price and this place seemed to fit the bill. After initial contact they were super responsive and gave me a good amount of information about the course and the way things worked. You can finish the course pretty quick if you wish or take time to understand the material better but a year is more than enough time. The hands on portion of the class was super easy to schedule, the office where training is has some of the friendliest office people. The office is set up so you have access to water, cokes, snacks all day while you work on the hand on portion. The instructors were super friendly and make you feel at ease as they know people get nervous about testing. The good part is the national registry people show up for the last day so you can get that part of the NREMT out of the way. Most of my class were first time passes at the stations, and of the several people I talked to after class we all have passed the NREMT advanced test with first time goes also. Great program dont just look at it email them and get started and advance your self."
- Matt Martin (AEMT)
"Very informative! Took my EMT course through NAR and currently working through my AEMT. Highly recommend this program! Any questions I have get answered promptly without any hassle. Also, the staff is insightful about how to acquire jobs and further training."
- Grace Newmarker (AEMT Student)
