EMS and Allied Health Education
Our programs meet or exceed the state and national requirements for licensure and certification. To read our formal mission statement, click below:
Currently, 911Programs offers day and evening courses in 10 programs as well as certification and re-certification classes for current health care professionals. Like other colleges and trade schools, we operate on a 4-semester-per-year calendar, meaning programs start every 3 months.
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, sex, region, or political beliefs. That said, as a private adult education institution, we reserve the right to decline admission to any applicant without cause. We will offer alternative and accessible arrangements for students with disabilities per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) July 26, 1990, Section 309.
The faculty at 911Programs is hand-picked from the best providers in Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. In order to teach at our facility, staff members must not only be qualified and experienced clinicians, but they must also be experienced educators. 911Programs consistently monitors instructor performance, takes student feedback into account, and provides mentoring to improve performance in the classroom.
While we are in the process of becoming a regionally accredited college, we cannot accept federal student aid. However, we are an authorized provider for the Office of Rehabilitation Services (ORS), the Veteran's Administration (VA), and the Department of Labor and Training, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) [info] [popup: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act funded training may be provided only to individuals who qualify for the program and only if funds are available]. As a smaller trade school, tuition is preferred at the start of the program, however we occasionally consider limited payments on a case-by-case basis.
