When we began the Rescue Training Institute our original mission
was to provide quality Emergency Medical Technician classes
to the general public. We have broadened our mission to include
First Aid/CPR classes, and now are excited to offer Certified
First Responder courses, at a reasonable price, without sacrificing
quality. We had this mission because of who we are...pre-hospital
care providers with over 50 years combined experience, this
along with over a decade of experience in adult learning,
including pre-hospital care.
While involved in pre-hospital training, it became frustrating
to see people become trapped in these CFR/EMT training assembly
lines that barely prepared them for the NYS Certification
Exam. These people squeak by, only to NOT qualify during orientation
programs for pre-hospital care jobs in the municipal and private
sector. We felt it was unfair to the student, who trained
so hard, yet was trained by substandard facilities.
We prepare people not just to pass an exam but to function
in real life...that's our goal. We encourage our instructors
to train you with the mind set that they are training someone
who may care for a member of their family...and our family
and friends deserve the best.
Since the beginning of the Rescue Training Institute, many
EMT's, Firefighters and First Aid qualified individuals have
passed through its doors and have gone on to fulfilling careers,
or serve as valued volunteers at local Fire Departments, Rescue
Squads and Ambulance Corps.
The Rescue Training Institute is operated by a Board of New
York State, Department of Health, Certified Instructor Coordinators
consisting of many members from various Fire Departments,
EMS Systems, hospitals and health care facilities, citywide.
We hold regular meetings each month with our instructors in
an effort to always create a more "Student Friendly" environment.
Many new things are going on with the Rescue Training Institute.
We are beginning to grow beyond our current accommodations,
therefore, we will soon have the ability to offer our classes
at various locations, citywide.
The difference with our training facility and staff is that
we, as a STAFF are on the "Front Line" when dealing with emergency
situations. Our instructors have each had a part in developing
curriculum, both didactic and practical. We offer, included
in our training, all the materials and supplies necessary
to complete our programs. As well, we boast a 100% success
rate of all our students who successfully complete our program,
PASS the NYS Certifying exam.
Our Instructors are held to a higher standard than the required
"minimums" in accordance with NYS guidelines. We use only
the best instructors, which through knowledge, patience, EXPERIENCE
and innovative teaching ideas, produce the best graduates.
Most of our graduates move on to become EMT's, Paramedics
and Firefighters in the 911 system. Some just enjoy the peace
of mind in knowing that they could help if an emergency should
arise. To be successful, the student must have a commitment,
the SAME commitment as our instructors. We are confident
that no matter which program you decide is best for you, we
can make you a confident, well-trained RESCUER.
If you can't decide which program is best for you, call or
e-mail our office. One of our TRAINED instructors will
be more than happy to help you decide which program is best
for you. We have flexible schedules, and can suit just about
anyone's needs.
Don't sacrifice on quality...it could mean the difference
between life or death.
