Our Services
Onsite training
-
Smoke Signal Solutions partners with local communities to provide affordable, in-person EMT training. Traveling to Sioux Falls or Rapid City for education is often unfeasible for many prospective EMTs. Our skilled instructors have conducted on-site EMT classes for years, using modern technology to enhance learning, including practice tests and online quizzes that support students while keeping them close to home.

Many EMTs in rural South Dakota want to help more patients on the ambulance but find it hard to take traditional paramedic classes due to work, family, cost, or distance. The Advanced EMT program enables AEMTs to offer essential treatments after graduation and is designed to be convenient and accessible. We have been teaching the Advanced EMT program in Central and Western South Dakota for over ten years, usually every other year. The next class is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
-
The American Heart Association (cpr.heart.org) leads in CPR and First Aid training. Our AHA certified instructors come to your location—classrooms, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and more. With the AHA's recommended student-to-teacher ratio, Smoke Signal Solutions offers BLS or CPR training to your group in a setting that encourages questions, includes hands-on practice, and provides feedback, ensuring the lessons are retained for real-life situations.
-
The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) offers a wide variety of specialty courses for the experienced EMTs, AEMTs and Paramedics to further their education and become better providers. Our team has obtained these certifications and attended training courses to become instructors and bring this training to your team.

PHTLS (Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support)

E-Learning / Education
-
Becoming an EMT is challenging without language knowledge. Our EMT Prep course covers Anatomy, Physiology, and medical terminology through videos, lectures, and flashcards. After studying, take a quiz to gauge your understanding. You'll receive a certificate and gain confidence for your next healthcare step.
-
Students often find certification exams feel different from classroom learning, where instructors focus on factual information. The National Registry Exam requires combining facts with scenarios to select correct answers, which can be unfamiliar. To help students prepare, we’ve developed practice tests that reflect this style. The first EMT practice test is free for download and can be shared with others. Additional practice tests are available, organized by category or as a random set of 70 questions (14 from each category), each with correct answers and explanations for review.
