This American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI) Emergency Medical Response course is designed to provide non-EMS resp onders including government, corporate, law enforcement, corrections personnel, executive protection professionals and industrial emergency response teams with a level of training comparable to NREMT Emergency Medical Responder. This 48-hour course is consistent with national EMS curriculum requirements and education standards; however, it is not the intent of the ASHI Emergency Medical Response program to cross the EMS scope of practice threshold.

Talon Group’s Emergency Medical Response training cadre members are real medical responders that have provided emergency medical care in urban and industrial environments for years.

Talon’s instructors employ comprehensive hands-on instructional methods and train students to stabilize and/or resolve medical scenarios that may occur in their work setting. Each student must not only pass a rigorous final exam, but also must successfully complete a series of skills verification stations before they can earn the distinction of Emergency Medical Responder.
