The EMR Licensing Prep course is an intensive scenario-based workshop designed for students who have completed their initial Emergency Medical Responder training and are preparing for the provincial EMALB licensing evaluations. This course focuses exclusively on refining practical skills, decision-making, and protocol adherence to ensure candidates are fully prepared for the rigorous licensing exams. It provides a supportive environment for expert feedback and repetition to build confidence before the actual testing dates.

Does this course include the actual license exam? No, this is a preparatory course only; you must schedule, pay for, and attend your licensing exams directly through the Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board (EMALB).
How long is the course? Upbeat First Aid typically schedules this as a 5-day intensive workshop (approximately 40 hours) to allow sufficient time for deep practice.
Can I take this if I trained at another school? Yes, as long as you hold a valid EMR training certificate from a recognized training partner and are eligible for licensing, you are welcome to join the prep course.
Is this course mandatory for licensing? No, it is an optional resource for students who want extra practice before their exams, but it is highly recommended if there has been a gap since your initial training or if you want to maximize your chances of passing on the first attempt.
