Our vision is to become the benchmark EMT training facility
ACE opened its doors to students in October, 2020. Classes were held in St. Louis and Poplar bluff campuses, with clinicals performed at the home campuses and SSM hospitals.
After two class sessions with 100% pass rates, ACE decided to offer free tuition, books, supplies, and testing to all students when they sign a one-year employment contract with Medic One Ambulance.
“I loved the ACE EMT program! The instructors were incredibly attentive, and I learned in a very hands-on environment. I felt very prepared for my exams and passed the first time!” – Winter 2020 student
