Timer was started in 1980 by Monte Posner as a loosely knit group of REMSCO Instructors before NYS started its official instructor curculum. Some taught on Staten Island, while others taught in southern Brooklyn.

As the kinks were worked out of the system, a group of knowledgeable senior instructors emerged known as TIMER. During the next six years, there was an influx of EMT's who tried their hand at teaching; most left. Some of the long term instructors that started out with us in 1980 left to follow other paths.

In 1986 that all changed. TIMER, now with Monte as Executive Director, was granted Authorizied Sponsor Status by the NYS DOH, BEMS. As Senior REMSCO Instructors were grandfathered in as State Instrictors, TIMER began teaching NYS EMT Courses in Brooklyn on its own.

In 1989/1990, the school moved to Staten Island at The St. Vincents Catholic Medical Centers, Bayley Seton Hospital Campus. As we built a knowledgeable cadre of instructors, TIMER branched out teaching other topics in emergency medicine and pre-hospital care. We remained at Bayley Seton Hospital until its planned closing in 2004.
In January of '04, the Institute moved to our new location at South Beach Psychiatric Center, 777 Seaview Avenue, Staten Island, NY.

We now hold EMT, Certified First Responder, AHA Provider and Instructor Courses (among others) in a 500 seat, state of the art Lecture Hall in Building #9. We plan to continue to offer these and other EMS, Continuing Education, and cutting edge courses to the EMS Community.

TIMER has provided, and still offers specialized classes and services for Local, State and Federal entities.
