The Critical Care Transport Academy (CCTA) provides education and training, developed and presented by flight crew members from around the country.

This Academy (conducted mostly through various online activities) occurs over the span of several months and provides a solid clinical foundation, didactic demonstrations, tools for flight crew orientation, interview practice sessions and more, with the goal of helping Academy graduates find a flight program career that is the best fit for them.

Each month a new topic is introduced. Students are provided with resources to complete various assignments throughout the month. At the end of the month, students gather on small group calls for a final assignment or review call on the assignments (as appropriate each month). 

The Academy is led by flight crew instructors with an array of experience and knowledge in the critical care  transportation sector.  The faculty will work closely with students to ensure an understanding of the curriculum and assistance as they work through program assignments.  

CCTA is a mostly conducted online with no tuition cost to students, however students are responsible for travel costs associated with two in-person courses that run over two days each.
