The Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) is an advanced course that meets the National Occupancy Competency Profiles (NOCP) for EMRs. Successful completion allows participants to write provincial exams to work as an Emergency Medical Responder (where permitted).
In provinces that recognize and regulate the EMR qualification, successful participants can find work in rural ambulance services, community response teams, and heavy industrial areas. The course also prepares participants to provide first-line response in isolated communities and remote worksites.
