📣 CC ELITE – Critical Care ELITE Course Announcement

Cape Fear Community College EMS is excited to welcome students to the Critical Care ELITE – FP-C/CCP-C Preparatory Course for Summer 2026. This hybrid critical care transport program is designed for experienced paramedics and healthcare
professionals seeking advanced knowledge and preparation for the FP-C and CCP-C certification exams.

This intensive 280-hour course combines 64 hours of in-person instruction with 216 hours of online learning and focuses on providing ICU-level care during transport of critically ill and injured patients ranging from neonates to adults. Students will gain advanced education in critical care physiology, pharmacology, ventilator management, hemodynamic monitoring, blood product administration, cardiac assist devices, advanced airway management, and invasive procedures.

📅 In-Person Class Dates:

The course is led by Toby V. Carter, BA, FP-C, NR-P, CMTE and utilizes the EMS Wizard/Meducate learning platform. Online coursework is required prior to attending in-person sessions.

Students completing the course will be prepared to provide high-level critical care transport beyond the traditional paramedic scope of practice while building the knowledge base necessary for successful completion of the CCP-C or FP-C certification examinations.

This course consists of section tests, assignments/quizzes, skills laboratory evaluations, and a comprehensive final examination scheduled for November 7, 2026. Attendance requirements are strict, with students expected to complete all required contact hours.

We look forward to advancing the next generation of elite critical care clinicians at CFCC EMS.
