The HSI Emergency Medical Response for Non-EMS Personnel program delivers a thorough, structured approach to handling medical emergencies in non-hospital settings until EMS arrives.
This program is tailored for non-EMS responders who want to go beyond standard first aid, providing a richer, more advanced level of training that meets and exceeds workplace first aid requirements. It’s ideal for individuals who want deeper knowledge without the extensive demands of EMS certification.
Although not intended for EMS provider training, the HSI Emergency Medical Response for Non-EMS Personnel program offers a skill level comparable to the foundational Emergency Medical Responder training.

State Licensure and Credentialing of Emergency Medical Responders
An individual who has been trained and certified in Emergency Medical Response will not be licensed or credentialed to practice emergency medical care as an EMS provider within an organized state EMS system. EMS provider licensing and credentialing are legal activities performed by the state, not HSI. Individuals who require or desire licensure and credentialing within the state EMS system must complete specific requirements established by the regulating authority, typically a state EMS agency within the state health department. The Emergency Medical Response program is not intended to prepare individuals for national certification, licensure, or credentialing as an EMS provider.
