What Code One does

Code One, Inc. is a privately held New York-based healthcare and emergency-response training company founded in 1998 and headquartered in the Bronx. Authorized by the NYS Bureau of EMS, the company delivers Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification courses alongside CPR/AED/First Aid, EKG, Phlebotomy, HAZMAT, tactical combat casualty care (TCCC), active shooter preparedness, and continuing education programs. Its core technology is a hybrid learning model combining live and pre-recorded online lectures with mandatory in-person practical skills sessions, offered across multiple course formats (Traditional, Hybrid, Partial Hybrid, Weekend Hybrid) at five locations across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Poughkeepsie.

Code One operates a direct-to-consumer tuition-based revenue model, with per-course pricing ranging from approximately $190 for tactical courses to $1,650 for premium EMT Original packages, supplemented by Afterpay installment plans and acceptance of vouchers from unions, EMS programs, the GI Bill, and Covenant House. Its distribution is anchored by channel partnerships with regional EMS agencies (SeniorCare EMS, Empress EMS, FDNY EMS, AMR/GMR, Hunter Ambulance, RCA, Citywide Mobile Response) and higher education institutions (Columbia University EMS, Barnard College, Bronx Community College) that serve as both recruiting pipelines for graduates and clinical rotation sites, with CPR course delivery outsourced to CPR Courses International.

The business is founder-owned with no disclosed outside investment or institutional backing. Students completing the program earn 6 college credits and gain eligibility for NREMT and NYS DOH EMT-B certification, with the company's value proposition centered on extended course hours (200-220+ vs. the 150-hour state minimum), expanded clinical rotations (up to 24 hours vs. the 10-hour minimum), flexible hybrid formats, and direct placement pathways into recruiting partner EMS agencies.
