Course Aim: The aim of our Emergency Medical Technician course is to provide students with the essential skills and knowledge necessary to provide care management to a wide range of sick and injured patients, it also prepares students to undergo the Pre-Hospital Care Council (PHECC) examination. This is the minimum requirement to work on an ambulance in Ireland.

(MEMT will arrange all placements on its own fleet of ambulances - guaranteed!). This course can be run either as a full-time (20 weekdays 09:00-17:00) or part-time basis (10 weekends, Saturdays and Sundays 09:00-17:00).
