Careers in EMS
Your journey doesn’t stop here.
EMS is a vital, high-demand industry. The increasing responsibility of EMTs and Paramedics will drive the field toward degree programs instead of technical certificates. This professionalization is expected to result in higher salaries for EMS professionals.
What’s more, the economic outlook for this field is positive. According to the US Department of Labor, the employment of EMTs and paramedics is projected to grow by 15% between 2016 and 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations.
The National EMS Academy, a division of Acadian Companies, operates in partnership with South Louisiana Community College.
We are nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. We are also an authorized American Heart Association Training Center for CPR and continuing education courses.
