Tuition comes with textbook, online code, stethoscope, and blood pressure cuffs. I took the 2 days/week class during the summer (June-August). It s run very well and very professionally. Lead and assistant instructors always kept everyone on track. They mandated a dress code which is great- I didn t have to look at anyone s asscrack/cleavage or deal with students being inappropriate during class time. Lectures and practical skill days were spaced efficiently so I didn t feel overwhelmed. Lectures were designed to give the most important informations relevant to EMT duties and NREMT tests; very no-nonsense. We were given ample time to practice our skills as well.
Karen, my lead instructor, was always available to answer additional questions after class. Assistant instructors were also always available during class time to provide real-life tips of the trade. I would absolutely recommend this program for anyone who s serious about learning. That being said, please read below:
THIS IS AN INTENSIVE CLASS! READ YOUR CONTRACT/CLASS PAMPHLET! Background of biology really helps. You must pass all tests and do all the homework assignments in order to qualify for the national exam. If you miss class, you get slammed with more homework- so don t miss class! Fail too many tests or miss too many days/assignments, you will be asked to drop out. This is NOT your regular high school/college class. You must treat classwork/homework like your future EMT duties. Environment of the class reflects future EMT work, which is often stressful both physically and mentally (getting the work done/ the patient relies on you- too tired is no excuse!) If you struggle to pick up things quick or have no background in science, I would recommend taking a less intensive class from this program. My class met for approx. 7 hours a day. They do have classes that meet for shorter periods that would allow more time to retain information. Ask for Karen s class! She s the best! She s one of the instructors who work hard irregardless of her own personal stress.
