First FGTC EMT-I Bootcamp
While the state sets the minimum number of hours for all EMT Intermediate
(EMT-I) programs, each school sets up the curriculum to fit their
individual needs. At many schools the standard EMT-I program is
taught over a 9-13 month schedule and will often require additional
core or ancillary courses. The standard EMT-I program at Faithful
Guardian Training Center (FGTC) runs over a 6-7 month schedule
and all course requirements are included in the curriculum. This
program structure has been very effective for the vast majority
of our students over the last 3 years. More...
FGTC donates AEDS to the Villa Rica Police Department
As
part of our mission to provide education and support to our community,
FGTC looks for ways to assist our public safety agencies in all
endeavors. When we were approached by the Villa Rica Police Department
(VRPD) for help in obtaining Automatic External Defibrillators (AED)
for their patrol cars we were excited for the opportunity to help.
An AED is a small, portable device that analyzes the heart's rhythm
for any abnormalities and, if necessary, directs the rescuer to
deliver an electrical shock to the heart of someone suffering from
sudden cardiac arrest. The American Heart Association has identified
the early use of an AED in cardiac arrest situations as one of the
most important interventions possible. More...
FGTC enrolls the 500th student
As a hallmark of our success, we
were excited to enroll the 500th student for our full time, in-house
EMT programs during the spring/summer enrollment period of 2011.
This wonderful accomplishment is
a direct reflection of the dedication and professionalism of our
instructional staff and the caliber of teaching excellence they
demonstrate with each class. Over the last three years we have administered
eighteen First Responder, EMT-I, and EMT-Paramedic programs along
with numerous occupational and community based safety courses. Not
only have we enrolled our 350th student, but our in-house teaching
staff is comprised of over 50 subcontracted adjuncts and lead instructors.

Advanced Training Center for the American Heart
Association
In March 2010, the American Heart
Association (AHA) recognized Faithful Guardian Training Center (FGTC)
as an Advanced ACLS/PALS Training Center. As a Basic Training Center
we were able to process CPR/First Aid cards and rosters, and to
manage and train new BLS instructors.
This new expansion of our service
level allows us to process cards and rosters for Advanced Cardiac
Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) courses.
By servicing both BLS and Advanced Level instructors, we are able
to provide our community with a more expansive range of life support
courses. More...
New Classes…. Defense Tactics for EMS Providers 
FGTC is excited to offer a new series of personal safety courses
for Fire, Police and EMS Providers. Escaping Violent Encounters
(E.V.E.) courses are designed to help protect public safety workers
in their daily operations.
There is a widely recognized but little acknowledged problem threatening
fire and emergency medical service personnel: injury through assault.
The frequency of assault on our Fire and EMS providers is alarming.
Many EMS/Fire providers have anecdotal stories of how they were
attacked by a violent patient, an angry bystander or upset family
member. While most attacks are not life threatening, the risk of
serious injury is evident and unpredictable. More...
