About ABC EMS Solutions
EMS instruction that actually makes sense — taught by working firefighters who understand how you learn
Company Story
ABC EMS Solutions was founded to provide EMS students with instruction that actually makes sense.
Too many students struggle not because they aren't capable, but because the material isn't explained in a way that fits how they learn. Our approach is different.
Founded by a Firefighter Who Teaches Full-Time
Jake Hempstead - Veteran & Current Firefighter
ABC EMS Solutions is owned and operated by Jake Hempstead, a veteran and current firefighter who decided that EMS education needed to change.
Most EMS training feels disconnected from the reality of the job. The concepts don't stick. The techniques feel abstract. Jake built ABC EMS Solutions to teach the way students actually learn — breaking down complex concepts until they make sense, then adding the real-world context that makes them stick.
Because he still works the job, Jake knows exactly what his students will face in the field. Every lesson. Every example. Every explanation is grounded in that reality.
Our Instruction Philosophy
We Read First
Understanding how each student learns before we start teaching
We Adapt
Pivoting our approach when a concept isn't clicking
We Persist
Explaining in different ways until the concept sticks
Our instructors read the student first — then teach.
Not every student learns the same way. Some need visual explanations. Others need the concept broken down step-by-step. Still others need the real-world scenario first, then the underlying physiology.
That's why our instruction adapts. We don't have a one-size-fits-all curriculum. We have instructors who recognize when a concept isn't clicking, then pivot to explain it a different way. We keep explaining it in different ways until it does click.
