As a recognized leader in EMS, Acadian’s in-house education department has often been asked to provide training for other EMS and government agencies. 

With the expansion of our educational capabilities, Acadian launched the National EMS Academy in 2003. Fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), the academy collaborates with South Louisiana Community College (SLCC) and Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) to educate Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and paramedics for agencies across the United States. 

The National EMS Academy offers entry-level, continuing education and refresher courses for a number of EMS career paths. Hybrid EMT and paramedic programs combine online instruction and exams and in-person skills training, allowing students to have more flexibility in pursuing their goals. 

As an authorized American Heart Association training center, the academy provides cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care courses year-round. 

As a leading resource for EMS professionals who seek excellence in educational offering, the academy strives to produce highly effective curricula and teaching resources while committing to quality research in medical education.
