email education@sfparamedics.org or call 415-543-1161 ext 304 to set up an appointment.

The boot camp is an extremely fast-paced program that covers the entire EMT-1 curriculum in five weeks. The small class size allows you maximum practice time with our
experienced instructors. Our program consists of 150 hours of classroom and skill training, at least ten hours of clinical observation, and the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational opportunities. This program exceeds the US DOT national guidelines. The instructional staff consists of experienced field Paramedics with years of experience as EMS educators.

Quality Education That Makes a Difference!

Established 20 years ago as a nonprofit agency, the SFPA's mission has been to improve the delivery of emergency medical services in the Bay Area. We have been able to accomplish this goal by offering emergency medical training to the public as well as healthcare professionals. In fact, we have grown steadily over the years to become one of the largest and best known providers of emergency medical education in Northern California.
