The Emergency Training Institute of Trinidad & Tobago (E.T.I.T.T), has been providing EMS education since 2005 to individuals and organizations (public & private). We are Registered with the Accreditation Council of Trinidad & Tobago (A.C.T.T) since 2009 and have received programme approval by the A.C.T.T in 2011. Registration of Post-Secondary / Tertiary Institution is mandatory by Act 16 of 2004.
We are also approved for the U.S.A National Registry EMR, EMT & Advanced EMT exams. This external examination, provides our students access to the most prestigious certification in the USA, as well as the opportunity to benchmark our success rate and quality of our programmes against that of other states in the U.S.A.
Registration & programme approval by the A.C.T.T and access to the USA National Registry examination are critical components of our credibility, who we are and what we do. These standards helps ensure our students receive the highest quality of EMS education locally, regionally & internationally.
We offer one of the most “robust” and challenging EMT programmes in the country. This is why we are sought after by numerous individuals and organizations. In 2014, the EMT programme was approved for Government Assistance for Tuition Expenses (G.A.T.E), by the Grants & Funding Division of the Ministry of Tertiary Education & Skills Training (previous).Over the years, we have developed strong relationships with a number of Institutions. One of which is Creighton University Medical Center, EMS Education Division, Nebraska USA. The Management of the EMS Education division, have provided tremendous expert support to us since 2005.
