Depending where you are, most of the volunteer fire depts. put their firefighters through a first responder class. The one that I knew of was about 40 hours long and would basically get the patient ready for the EMTs / paramedics. Another way is to call your local / state Emergency Medical provider (ambulance) and find out who is the governing agency that licences them. They should be able to tell you who is putting on a class - they have to know as they are the ones that will licence them or administer the test. Hope this gives you what you are needing. EPI
