Hi, I’m Kenya Skaflestad — and I’m glad you’re here.

As a Paramedic, Firefighter, Alaska EMS Instructor, and American Red Cross Instructor, I know how challenging it can be to keep up with training while serving in rural Alaska. That’s why we built GEMS — training that’s practical, flexible, and designed for real responders across the state. Here, you can learn at your own pace, earn certificates instantly, and complete live skill verifications by Google Meet when you’re ready. This isn’t just about certification — it’s about confidence, readiness, and keeping your community safe.

Welcome to GEMS. Keep your skills strong. Keep Alaska safe.
