“I have been an instructor with EMR since 2018. I began instructing part-time initially, which then quickly changed to full time. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was able to become a small business owner and full-blown entrepreneur. EMR made it so easy for me, the employees are so helpful and walked me through everything. They are always available to answer any questions I have and provide guidance when I need it. The process of instructing and getting my equipment/ certifications is so easy and user friendly. I am glad I am an instructor and even more glad that EMR is my training center!!!”
