Universal Careers offers firefighter training

In these days of budget cutbacks in nearly every city, the need for cross training and expanded skills in emergency workers is vital.

Universal Careers Reviews: a national leader in EMT/paramedic training, is proud to offer firefighter training among its programs.

According to the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, more and more communities are switching from volunteer Emergency Medical Services organizations to professionals. In addition, first responder crews are often mixed, with ambulance crews dispatched with police and firefighters to accidents. The ability to work across departments helps not only the individual, but also cities and patients.

“Universal Careers' expertise in EMT/paramedic training means that firefighters who graduate from the program will be able to handle themselves in EMS situations, giving the necessary care to accident and emergency victims until they can be transported to facilities to receive proper care,” said Rick Hamilton, senior executive of development for Universal Careers. “This produces valuable and in-demand firefighters who can be counted on in any situation.”

Since 2005, Universal Careers has been training EMT/paramedics and has grown into a premiere school, recognized for providing top quality certified EMT/paramedics in both private and public sector jobs.

The school offers state-of-the-art programs taught by licensed, experienced paramedics who use real medical equipment and bring a wealth of knowledge to students. The courses also include time spent in emergency rooms and hospitals and out of the classroom. Upon graduation, Universal Careers students are able to certify for work in all 50 states.
