Mission Statement :
SoCal EMS Training institute strives to bring a dedicated instructor cadre with the training, knowledge, and experience to not only train our current students but to shape the future of EMS through challenging the status quo of legacy information and replacing it with the most up to date lessons and techniques from the innovators and trail blazers of modern medicine.
Core Values:
Service- We believe that it is important to deliver professional and courteous customer service to not only our students and guests but each other. We aim to create a culture of putting each other’s needs before our own. If we all care about each other a little more than ourselves we will collectively grow more than the sum of our parts.
Accountability- We hold ourselves accountable for not only our actions but to each other. By being accountable we will allow our team to move forward in one common direction.
Innovation- We believe that the world is a forum and that every person we interact with has something to offer and bring to the table. It is important to not only teach the most up to date information but to challenge ourselves to create new ideas and seek better ways to do things.
Excellence- We are committed to carry a spirit of excellence to continually improve not only our services but to become the best versions of ourselves.

I can’t say enough great things about this EMT program! From start to finish, the instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate about the field. The hands-on training was top-notch and really helped me feel confident and prepared for real-world emergencies. They made even the toughest material easy to understand and were always available to answer questions or offer extra help. Would highly recommend.

Amazing course!
Jonny and Jade are both amazing instructors. They were very diligent with giving detailed answers to all my questions which I really appreciated as I was struggling balancing this course whilst also working a full time graveyard job.
I passed the national registry test first try so I feel this course does a great job at training you above the level of where you need to be.
As long as you apply yourself and focus, you’ll succeed.

I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in the ems field. Johnny had a great way of explaining every subject we went over making it easy to understand. Tips for any newcomers joining the program: don't be afraid to ask questions and volunteer to go first in scenarios. The more you apply, the better chance you'll survive....All instructors were very kind and helpful and i wish they taught a paramedic program because i would sign up for it ASAP. Thank you Jade and Johnny!

SoCalEMS is a great school with fantastic instructors who strive to see their students be successful. The school has the best of both worlds regarding classroom lecture and actual hands on training. All primary and skills instructors have real world EMS experience and come from all kinds of branches such as paramedics, firefighters, and flight medics. The school is great in giving versatile exposure to its students and I highly recommend SoCalEMS to anyone who is looking to take their first step into the EMS world.

I wanted to take time to acknowledge and appreciate how Jonny emphasized the importance of taking care of yourself and mental well-being. Without him getting us ready the way he did, I doubt I could have left the emergency room still fully in tact like I did. I wanted to let you know that I am living proof of your efforts and that you are really preparing us for the field.

I am so glad I decided to take this course, and get to learn surrounded by such amazing and resourceful people! Thanks for the opportunity!

My time at Socal EMS was amazing. It’s very welcoming and you really get to know everyone there. Lectures were fun and educational and there’s a good balance of group activities. They really want to drive the information home to you and it shows. The instructors for skills are also very helpful and available for extra help and feedback. I’m going to miss my time there but I would recommend this school to anyone looking to start their career in EMS.

Southern California EMS was an amazing program with a staff and owners that truly care about the education and future of its students. The programs education was led with the thought of teaching us how to be an EMT that can perform on the job from day one. I was given every opportunity to ask for help and assistance always readily available. My instructor, Matt, blew away my expectations and was an awesome instructor to everyone. He showed how much he cared for all of his students daily. Thank you so much, myself and my family are forever grateful for your program.

Socal EMS provides a nurturing environment where students feel supported and encouraged to excel in their academic pursuits. The dedicated instructors go above and beyond to ensure our success. There are lots of fun activities that we got to do to practice "real life" scenarios. I love how the owners are very interactive with all the students and are their for you whenever you just need someone to talk to. Very family oriented! I gained an entire new family being apart of SoCal EMS!. You guys rock!

I have to be honest, I was a bit nervous when I found out that you just started running the school less than a year before I enrolled. But after completing your course I can say that you killed it! Your style of teaching and amount that you care really works! I would recommend SoCal EMS to anyone. Thank you again and keep up the good work. I look forward to one day having enough experience to come back and make a difference in your class.

Absolutely, cannot praise the instructors enough my second time through. The improvements the school made to their education, testing system, and teaching staff following my first unfortunate failure were night and day difference and its impact on my learning experience was significant apparent in my results.

Jonny….Thank you from the bottom of my heart! What a difference this class was for him from the last time he took it. You are an inspiration to him and he looks up to you so much. Thank you both for believing in my son and giving him the confidence boost he needed to become a better EMT and soon firefighter. You have given him the tools to do well. He never once…I mean never complained going to school. Not 1 day! This is credit to you and your program.

Attending SoCalEMSTI was the best experience of my life. This school is great at showing you the material and what it takes to learn it to the best of your ability. I felt like all of the instructors care about our future of EMS and it made me feel even more confident. This school is I think, the #1 EMS training in SoCal. Please go here if you want a future in EMS!

I wanted to share that I officially passed the NREMT exam. I'd be remiss if I did not thank you for all the time and effort that you put into teaching the class and holding it down as our Primary Instructor (much appreciated!)
Also an honorable mention to the rest of the staff at So Cal EMS Institute, everyone was incredibly knowledgeable and inspiring. Thank you so much for all the time and effort put into facilitating and improving the program.

SoCal EMS training is one of the best EMT training schools I have been at. The instructors are great. My primary instructor Albert was the kind of instructor I needed he helped me finally achieve my goal and I can’t praise him enough. The skills instructors are great toO. All the skills instructors are very knowledgeable about everything and they take their time teaching you the necessary skills to pass this class. Overall the schools gets a 10/10 and I would highly recommend this school.

Honestly, the 10 weeks I spent at SoCalEMS was one of the best moments of my life. I had amazing instructors and an amazing staff to help make sure I felt prepared every step of the way! I also met a lot of life long friends! The staff at SoCalEMS is so quick to build you up and help anytime you are struggling and the support doesn’t just end in the classroom the support follows you and I think that’s amazing! They also give you the resources you need to know what to do after the course ends! This 10 week course really did change my life and helped me get so much closer to my goals and I am forever thankful, if your looking for a great EMT program to start your journey don’t look any further because you found it!

There are a lot of EMT programs out there, but the incredible sense of community and field knowledgeability from the instructors at SoCal EMS Training Institute are to a large extent why I am the diligent and compassionate EMT I am today. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. EMT school is very hard work and contains a lot of material to soak up and put into kinesthetic (hands on) practice. But with instructors and classmates that bring a sense of community and encouragement daily, it can be one of the best experiences you’ll have and @socalemsti is where I found an EMS family that backed me 100% in pursuit of my dream to help others and save lives!

As someone who was basically “born” into this profession, this school helped me get prepared for my career in EMS. I was able to get a job for AMR Desert Cities in the middle of the course and started working after my certificates came in! I have had so many calls where everything the instructors have taught me came in handy. The way they teach skills and rapid assessments helped sharpen my decision making and overall taught me patient care the right way! I highly recommend this EMT course to anyone!
