Applications close 5 December. Admission is competitive — three steps from application to your first day in the skills lab. Short courses (EMR, AHA BLS, AHA ACLS, workplace training) run throughout the year.
Yes, under the EMT Council’s conditions: complete the Emergency Medical Responder course first, or hold a certificate from a recognised medical-related course. EMR takes up to four weeks and costs KES 22,500, separate from EMT fees. Report early so you finish before the EMT intake starts.
A maximum of 25 per EMT intake. All applications received before the deadline are screened; those meeting the minimum criteria sit a written and oral interview.
22 weeks of didactics at a minimum of 24 hours a week, then at least 500 hours of internship on an ambulance with a field preceptor and in hospital rotations — completed in 10–12 months.
Fees are confirmed in your admission letter and cover tuition, skills labs and the internship placement. Each intake includes sponsored places for bright students who need them — ask admissions or see the Sponsorship page.
AHA BLS is the entry point and runs weekly. AHA ACLS (adults) and AHA PALS (children) follow, each requiring a current AHA BLS card. ECG Basic and the Airway + Breathing Masterclass deepen specific skills. Health workers who want to move into pre-hospital care can also join the EMT programme.
Yes. First Aid at Work, Basic Fire Fighting and AHA BLS run on-site for groups of 8–20 anywhere in Kenya. Sahara EMS College is a NITA-approved trainer.
