About the Academy
The Northwest Ambulance EMT Academy is an accelerated pathway to starting your career at Northwest Ambulance as a certified Washington State Emergency Medical Technician.
Training lasts only 5 weeks and takes place at our Training Center in Marysville, WA. Lectures will be supplemented with classwork, presentations, written and practical exams. Field observations will have you spending time riding along on one of our units located in either Pierce, King, Snohomish, or Skagit Counties.
No prior experience is needed. We’ll teach you everything you need to know and pay you full-time wages to become an EMT!
Your only required out of pocket expenses are boots and a stethoscope.
All remaining testing, or academy fees are covered by Northwest Ambulance.

Why Join
Northwest Ambulance?
Northwest Ambulance was founded in 2007 by a Snohomish County Fire Fighter/Paramedic who saw a need for an enhanced level of private ambulance service. At NWA, we provide the best care and customer service to patients and facilities, but also balance that with respect and pride for our employees.
Being a private, locally owned ambulance company allows us to re-invest profits back into the company - which means we offer industry leading wages for our employees and best-in class equipment for our ambulances!
