EMT training focuses on life support techniques in first-response situations, including CPR, tourniquet application, and treatment of wounds.MT basic training (EMT-B) takes anywhere from six months to two years to complete, depending on the institution. These programs are offered at technical institutes and community colleges and typically include 120 to 150 hours of coursework.
