about course

The Certified Flight Paramedic (FP-C) exam is tailored for paramedics aspiring to work in or already engaged with air medical transport services.

Mastery of advanced patient care pathophysiology, coupled with proficiency in standards such as ACLS, PALS, NALS, ITLS, and industry accreditation, is essential for success.

The FP-C certification targets licensed or certified paramedics specializing in air medical critical care practice, acknowledging their expertise in prolonged field care in urban and austere settings.
