The Tennessee EMT Program runs for a total of 15 weeks. This training period is divided into two structured sections:
- EMT I – The first phase of the program, covering foundational knowledge and basic emergency medical skills.
- EMT II – The second phase, which builds on EMT I and includes more advanced clinical skills, scenario-based training and exam preparation.
Throughout the 15 weeks, students participate in classroom instruction, hands-on skills days and assessments designed to prepare them for certification and real-world emergency response.
