A NATIONALLY ACCREDITED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION

Orange County EMT was established in 2009 by local Firefighter Paramedics who had a vision of creating a training program that surpassed all others by providing the highest level of training while ensuring the greatest level of course completion rates, licensure rates, and job placement rates. 

With over 8,000 graduates we are proud to say that we continue to meet this vision and are the only private program in Orange County that is Nationally Accredited as an Educational Institution.
