EMR is an 8-day, 80-hour course covering patient assessment, airway management, spinal injuries, and trauma, and it is the highest pre-hospital level below paramedic. Both need a written exam and practical scenarios, and certificates last three years. Most candidates start with Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C and BLS Healthcare before advancing.
