Hyperbaric Training Associates has had numerous requests to provide NBDHMT accredited hyperbaric and pre-hospital emergency medical training to various organizations within, and outside, the continental United States and around the world.  We have even had requests to conduct classes onboard diving exploration and support ships.

We now provide the complete NBDHMT Module 16 Diver Medical Technician Program (2010 Standards)...at your facility!  Whether land based, on the high seas, or onboard the "rig", Hyperbaric Training Associates can fulfill your Diver Medic training needs.

Hyperbaric Training Associates will send a NBDHMT certified, advanced instructor, to your site.  Whether a clinical or field setting, we can provide your required training.

Obviously, it will be much more cost effective to pay for the transportation and lodging of one instructor rather than 6 to 12 students.

The option of having the instructor and equipment come to you, rather than having the students come to the instructor will provide for a huge cost saving.

In addition to the NBDHMT Diver Medical Technician training provided, Hyperbaric Training Associates can provide up to 48 hours of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for your emergency medical personnel.  These CEUs can be utilized for the recertification requirements of your EMT and Paramedic level personnel. 

Typically, CEU costs range from $20.00 to $30.00 per hour or higher when you consider employer costs for wages or overtime and travel expenses.  You, and your personnel, will receive these CEUs at no additional charge during the two week DMT training sessions.
