FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Kaplan Continuing Education (KCE) has launched a Fire & Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) Division with the assistance of Florida Professional Firefighters
Medical Director and former National Paramedic Institute president Dr. Steven
Katz. Kaplan`s online continuing education courses offer EMT CEUs online for
students recertifying their state certifications. The new division was created
to provide established fire and EMS professionals high quality online EMT,
paramedic and fire training for continuing education programs.

KCE`s Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and paramedic online training for CEUs
and recertification courses are led by expert instructors and provide case-based
continuing education. Specifically, Kaplan`s online training for EMT and
