CERT is seeking motivated, professional, and highly capable EMT Instructors to deliver high-quality education and training to EMT students. Instructors are responsible for creating a structured, disciplined, and engaging learning environment that emphasizes skill mastery, clinical decision-making, and leadership under pressure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver classroom instruction and hands-on skills training in accordance with CERT standards and curriculum.
• Facilitate skill labs with a focus on repetition, precision, and competency-based progression.

• Maintain a structured, professional, and distraction-free learning environment.
• Uphold and enforce CERT policies, including uniform, conduct, and performance standards.
• Serve as a role model for professionalism, communication, and patient care.
• Collaborate with leadership to maintain consistency across all training sessions.

Qualifications:

• Current National Registry EMT (NREMT) certification (Paramedic preferred but not required).
• Active Virginia EMT certification (or ability to obtain).
• Field experience preferred, but not required.
• Prior teaching or instructional experience preferred, but not required.
• Strong communication skills and ability to manage groups effectively.
• Demonstrated professionalism, maturity, and leadership ability.

What We’re Looking For:

• Individuals who take pride in high standards and accountability.
• Instructors who can balance structure with approachability.
• Professionals who can command a room while still mentoring students.
• Team players who align with a standardized training model.
• Those who understand that EMT education is not just academic—it is performance-based.

Work Environment:

• Classes are conducted at our training facilities in Fair Oaks Mall (Fairfax) and Chantilly, VA.
• Opportunities available across multiple course formats: 
  • Fast Track (daytime, intensive).
  • Evening Academy.
  • Weekend Academy.
  • Skills labs and simulation events.

Why Join CERT:

• Be part of one of the most structured and rapidly growing EMT programs in the region 
• Work in a high-performance training environment focused on real outcomes.
• Opportunity for growth into leadership and advanced instructional roles.
• Contribute to training the next generation of EMS providers.

Final Note:

At CERT, we hold both our students and our instructors to a higher standard. If you are looking for a casual teaching role, this is not it. If you are looking to be part of a program that is building something exceptional—and are willing to uphold that standard—we want to hear from you.
