Initial EMT In-Person Skills | Raleigh, NC

Our EMT Skills Week sessions are an intensive, hands-on component of your Emergency Medical Technician Training, designed to prepare students for the real-world medical emergencies they will encounter in the field. This immersive session runs from Thursday, September 24 through Sunday, September 27, 2026.
