This Isn't a Typical
CPR Class

Watch our customized BLS training with Rotterdam Fire District No. 7. Firefighters in full turnout gear practice a downed-firefighter rescue — dragging the victim, rapidly stripping heavy gear as a coordinated team, and initiating CPR on a training mannequin.

This is what sets EMIC apart. We don't just teach you the steps — we train you to perform them under the weight of your gear, the stress of the scene, and the pressure of a real emergency. Our courses are built around how first responders actually encounter cardiac arrest in the field.
