Emergency Medical Services Two
Under Development for Fall 2024
Emergency Medical Services 2 (EMS2)
The EMS2 course is the advance course for a EMS pathway. EMS 2 is also used as an advanced course in many Public Safety Pathways.
The EMSS2 course is an extension of the basic EMS training designed for high school students as part of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. This advanced course builds upon the foundational skills acquired in EMS Basic Training, providing students with in-depth knowledge and advanced techniques required for higher-level roles in emergency medical services. It is recommended students test for Emergency Medical Technican (EMT) at the end of the course.
