ASHI - Emergency Medical Responder

Course Description: The ASHI Emergency Medical Response training program provides a detailed and comprehensive approach for managing out-of-hospital medical emergencies prior to the arrival of EMS. The program is designed to provide non-EMS responders more depth and exposure to standard first aid training topics to provide richer and more advanced training. It meets and exceeds workplace first aid training requirements and satisfies the desire to learn more than just basic first aid without the burden associated with EMS provider training and certification.  Emergency Medical Response provides comparable training to that of Emergency Medical Responder, the base-level training for EMS providers, although the program is not intended for training EMS providers or preparing students to be eligible for EMS provider testing and certification.

Audience: This course is intended for individuals who are not EMS or healthcare providers but desire certification in Emergency Medical Response, such as: Law enforcement officers, Correctional officers, Security personnel, Event and crowd control staff, Lifeguards, Park rangers, Workplace Emergency Response Team (ERT) members, Disaster team members, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members, Athletic trainers, and Outdoor guides​.

Prerequisites: A valid Healthcare Provider (or equivalent) CPR card

Course Length: Initial Course 47-50 Hours, Renewal Class 16 Hours

Certification Length: Upon successful completion of the course, students receive certification card valid for 2 years.
