Who We Are

The EMETSEEI Institute was founded on the belief that every student can learn. Our primary mission is to serve the community as an EMT paramedic school.

Enjoy this video and see where EMETSEEI Institute can help change your life and help you into the career of medicine.

What does this mean to be in an EMT paramedic school? A learning experience that cannot be compared with other EMT training schools. On top of experience, our professional staff has multiple Instructor certifications from CPR, ACLS, PALS, ITLS, TCCC, TACMed, Active Shooter, and Incident Command, to name a few. Our classes in Rockledge hold no more than 25 in each course to provide a team-oriented learning environment. Our students complete the paramedic training school with the knowledge that will offer them an opportunity to pass the State Exam and the skills to take care of patients appropriately and professionally.

At EMETSEEI Institute, we are an institute of Welcome & Belonging!

Testimonials

“I just wanted to say you are doing a great service to the community in preparing young people with knowledge to enter the workforce. So many millennials have an entitlement attitude, and you exercise tough love, “Dutch Uncle” style. Iam not prejudiced against Dutch people as I am probably a good bit Dutch and or Swedish, but we do people, young people, a disservice if we do not advise and speak truth into their lives. There is a standard that we all strive to meet. It would be unjust to tell them all was well when they had not met the minimum standard. We do all we can to help them meet the standard; however they have to rise to the occasion, it’s just a fact of life for all of us. We have the task of making the next generation ready to assume leadership. That is our God-given task to which you and others have embraced and dedicated yourself to! Bravo, brother, keep up the good work. We do it because we care. We give a damn because God cares about important things. Instead of complaining about a situation, we do something positive to change it. Be the change that you want to see!”
