The Complete Platform for EMS Training Programs
Hawkware brings together scheduling, attendance, clinical tracking, NREMT-aligned exams, and grading into one purpose-built platform — so you can focus on teaching, not administration.
Everything Your Program Needs
From the first day of class to the final exam, Hawkware handles every operational detail of running a professional EMS training program.
Smart Schedule Builder
Upload your syllabus and enter class dates — the platform auto-populates every session, reading assignment, and exam unlock date instantly.
Multi-Textbook Support
Full support for Nancy Caroline's Emergency Care in the Streets (all editions), IPHMI, and countless others. Switch textbooks per class — reading references, chapter maps, and slides adapt automatically.
NREMT-Aligned Exam Engine
Chapter quizzes, a dynamic midterm, and a final exam — all with randomized questions and answer choices, attempt limits, and instant rationale feedback. Exams run in a secure environment that prevents tab switching, copy/paste, and other browser actions during testing.
Comprehensive Grading
Weighted grades covering exams, clinical time, participation, handout quizzes, and extra credit. Students see their grade in real time.
Geofence Attendance
Set your classroom location and let the platform auto-mark attendance via GPS. No app download required — works in any browser.
Clinical Management
Track hospital and ambulance clinical slots, CPR certifications, badge assignments, and sign-off rosters all in one place.
Slide Library
Upload and share the slides you want your students to see — organized by chapter and accessible directly inside the class portal.
Direct Messaging
Built-in inbox for instructors and students. Send announcements, answer questions, and keep all class communication in one place.
Your Brand, Your Identity
Each class portal can display your course name, program affiliation, and logo — so students always know exactly whose class they're in.
Unlimited Practice Quizzes
Students can practice as many times as they want with no grade impact. Questions unlock chapter by chapter as your class progresses — keeping practice aligned with exactly where you are in the syllabus.
Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT)
Mid-term and final exams use the same methodology as the NREMT cognitive exam. The engine evaluates each answer in real time and terminates the exam early once pass or fail is statistically confident — students answer as few as 40 questions or as many as 110, with no running score shown during the exam.
Up and Running in Hours, Not Weeks
No complex setup, no IT department required. If you can upload a PDF, you can launch your class portal.
Contact Us
Reach out to discuss your program's needs. We'll set up your custom class portal.
Upload Your Syllabus
Drop in your syllabus and class dates. The platform builds your full schedule automatically.
Invite Your Students
Add students via CSV or individual invite. Each gets a secure login to their class portal.
Teach with Confidence
Run your class with every tool you need — from attendance to exams to clinical tracking.
Built by EMS Educators, for EMS Educators
Hawkware was designed from the ground up by active EMS instructors who understood exactly what was missing from existing solutions — a platform that handles the full operational complexity of running an EMT program without requiring a full-time administrator to manage it.
Every feature in Hawkware exists because it was needed in a real classroom. From geofence attendance to NREMT-aligned question banks to a secure exam environment — nothing is here just to fill a feature list.
Clinical Tracking
Hospital & ambulance shifts, CPR certs, badge management
Document Management
Forms, handouts, signed waivers — all in one place
Exam Engine
Chapter, midterm & final exams with NREMT-style questions
Live Grade Dashboard
Students see their grade in real time, always
Instructors Are Set Up in Minutes — and Never Left Guessing
Hawkware is built so that any qualified instructor can be onboarded and running a class the same day — no training required, no IT support needed. The platform handles the reminders, the scheduling, and the paperwork so instructors can focus entirely on teaching.
Instant Instructor Access
Add an instructor to any class with a single click. They receive a secure login, see only their assigned class, and can start taking attendance, posting announcements, and reviewing grades immediately — no orientation session required.
Automated Shift Reminders
When an instructor picks up an open teaching slot, they receive an immediate confirmation email with the session details, followed by an automatic 24-hour reminder before the class. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Open Shift Pickup
Need coverage? Post an open teaching slot and let qualified instructors claim it directly from their portal. Admins see who picked up what, and the schedule updates automatically — no phone tag, no spreadsheets.
Pre-Built Session Structure
Every session comes pre-loaded with the chapter, reading assignment, and any linked exam unlock — pulled directly from your syllabus. Instructors walk in knowing exactly what's on the agenda for that day.
Proactive Student Alerts
The platform automatically notifies instructors when a student fails an exam, drops below the grade threshold, or hasn't logged in for 7+ days. Instructors are informed before problems become crises.
Weekly Class Digest
Every Monday morning, class admins and instructors receive a digest showing logins, inactive students, upcoming sessions, open exam attempts, and grade alerts — a full situational picture delivered to their inbox without logging in.
How Instructor Onboarding Works
From invitation to first class — typically under 10 minutes.
Admin Adds Instructor
Class admin enters the instructor's name, email, and role. No forms, no paperwork.
Instant Email Sent
Instructor receives a welcome email with their portal URL and temporary login credentials.
First Login in Seconds
Instructor logs in, sets a new password, and sees their full class dashboard immediately.
Automated From Here
Reminders, alerts, digests, and shift notifications run automatically — no manual follow-up needed.
Everything You Need to Pass the NREMT
Hawkware gives you a single place to study, track your progress, and stay on top of your class — so you can walk into the NREMT with confidence.
NREMT-Aligned Practice
Chapter quizzes and practice exams built around the same content domains the NREMT tests. Unlimited retakes, no grade impact.
Live Grade Dashboard
See exactly where you stand across every graded component — exams, clinical time, participation, and more — updated in real time.
Class Schedule & Materials
Upcoming sessions, handouts, and slides organized by date. Everything your instructor shares is one click away.
