Stethoscope, trauma shears, penlight, and Guardian-branded gear bag, the essentials a working EMT carries on every shift. Yours to keep.
Hands-on AHA Basic Life Support coursework, the CPR and airway skills that anchor EMT training. Taught from day one and included in your tuition; there’s no separate class to enroll in.
The Forge is Guardian's own training gym, in the same building as your classroom. Two tracks: CPAT prep for students headed into the fire service, and strength and conditioning for everyone else. Included with Soaring Eagle and Mother Eagle. On the Eagle package it's a $300 add-on, which is exactly the price gap between Eagle and Soaring Eagle, so most students simply take the middle package.
