Emcare Training Academy

Emcare is a trusted Emergency Health Care training centre situated in South Africa. We have multiple establishments country wide, all of them are fully equipped and furnished to provide all of our students the best training and education necessary to make them effective Paramedics, Firefighters and more.

Creating the newest generation of emergency medical professionals is a huge and important task especially when lives are at stake. That-s why we make sure that all our students have all the right skills necessary to handle intense situations and produce favourable results.

Emcare Polokwane branch has been established for 18 years, and offers our full range of training courses.

Since opening in 1999, the branch was our original head office. After years of development in quality, and range of services and products, we earned a reputation as Limpopo-s Leading Emergency Care training provider.

In September 2017 Emcare merged with ATA International Training. ATA is situated in Johannesburg, Gauteng and is a well known training provider that shares the same core values and ethics. The Johannesburg office is now our new head office, and is positioned as a central hub for our new branches that opened in 2017 - Port Elizabeth and Durban. In 2018 we have plans to achieve a larger footprint nationwide, so we are able to provide our services in all areas of South Africa.

In Polokwane our main career training course is the Fire Fighter Level 1 & 2, which we present at our 8.5ha property called -The Training Venue-. This facility is located 5km from Polokwane central, in a prime position next to the R71 highway to Tzaneen.
