Training At Your Facility

Hyperbaric Training Associates has had numerous requests to provide 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 IMCA and 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 an IMCA and 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 9 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 IMCA and 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.

What You Must Provide

Domestic Clients

In order to facilitate this type of "Off Campus" DMT program, you will need to provide the following:

  • A classroom, lecture or conference room large enough to accommodate the amount of students enrolled equipped with a projection screen.
  • A practical skills practice area large enough to accommodate the equipment and students for the advanced DMT practical sessions. (This can be the same lecture room if it is large enough to accommodate the equipment.)
  • An adult and infant CPR manikin if CPR training will be conducted.
  • A multi-lock hyperbaric chamber with an operator.  MONOPLACE CHAMBERS are NOT acceptable for DMT certification.

International Clients

In addition to the above mentioned items, our international clients must provide the following if applicable.

  • Secure transportation to and from the training and lodging facilities.

  • All English speaking, reading, and writing students.

 

 

Off-Shore Clients *SPECIAL NOTE*

If you wish to have your personnel trained "Off-Shore" on an oil rig or dive support vessel, you must provide the following.

  • The same facilities as listed for domestic and international clients.

  • Appropriate helicopter transportation capable of transporting the instructor and approximately 200 pounds of equipment to the site.

  • You must provide any special safety and survival gear required for the flight.

  • If any special survival training is required for the trip, it must be provided by you.  Our instructor is a retired professional Fire Department Special Rescue Operations Division Chief and an Inland Commercial and Public Safety Diver, so that won't be a problem.

  • Private quarters would be nice.

The HTA instructor carries his own small, survival pack containing a satellite-based, GPS-encoded PLB,  Rescue Strobe, Helicopter Crew Vest, and Dramamine  for "Off-Shore" operations.

All NBDHMT student fees, textbook costs, and equipment and expendable supply costs are covered in this price.

Instructor Costs

You are required to pay the airfare, lodging and rental car costs for the instructor. Due to the large amount of equipment and supplies transported for these classes, first class airfare is normally easier, and less costly, than the additional shipping costs.

No per diem costs are charged by the instructor. There are NO other charges from the instructor other than the tuition and travel costs.
