OUR FIRE SERVICE TRAINING PARTNER
Central Texas Regional Training Academy
Texas Rescue Med partners with Central Texas Regional Training Academy (CTRTA) to help students explore complementary fire service and emergency medical education opportunities.
CTRTA provides fire service training, including firefighter academy pathways and professional development. Texas Rescue Med provides EMS education, including EMR, EMT, and AEMT programs.
TWO COMPLEMENTARY DISCIPLINES
Build a Stronger Foundation for Public Safety
Firefighters are routinely called upon to provide emergency medical care, respond to hazardous environments, work in coordinated teams, and make critical decisions under pressure.
Combining fire service preparation with appropriate EMS education can help students develop a broader foundation for firefighter-EMT positions and other public safety career opportunities. Each program maintains its own admissions, training, assessment, and credentialing requirements.
EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS

ACCELERATED SCHEDULING
Weekday Fire Academy
An intensive pathway for students who can commit to consecutive weekday training. This format incorporates assigned academics, hands-on skills, and required evaluations.
