I agree.....
My niece was looking into it. She told my parents it was $4000.00 !
My ALS EMT course was $1200.00!
Totally smells fishy to me...as you and I both know, in order to be a good EMT, you really need a stong foundation in Basic skill and knowledge.
"dumbing down Education"? :rofl:
Yeah right, these classes have more hours, and they aren't just here or there, the students live their training. They get trained well, they know what they are doing, and they know what they are expected to do. I would be happy to have graduates from there work with me. More importantly I would have no problem with a graduate from their school taking care of myself or my family.
I think a great many EMT's out there haven't been nearly as well trained, nor have they had a chance to experience what their students go through.
That's just my opinion though
Unfortunately, this one is legit. There is one close by to where I live. I've met students, an instructor, and I've seen their MCI. I didn't see a helicopter though....Why does this remind me of the infamous Universal Careers thread?
So ignoring the troll like tone....
Exactly how much "training and experience" can you get in two weeks? There's agencies who have classroom orientation that's at least twice that.
The only reason I believe in this school is because I have seen what they offer, and how they train their students, and how well their students truly know their **** after just two weeks.
As I have said in previous posts on this subject, my EMT course was 510+ hours with 110 hours ride time and 10 hours emergency room compared to this 2 weeks and 168 hours. And what is the NREMT pass rate from this 'EMT mill'? and how many have found employment through this program? All questions to ask. As a previous poster suggested forget it and go to a college to do the course.
so you're an instructor there, or a PR person for their school? or current grad...
either way, the program has a horrible rep out in the field here in the bay. keep churning out grads who fail the nremt or have absolutely no clue what they're doing on ride alongs or if they manage to land an ift job; whoever does their PR is tasked with quite the quixotic quest.
i do believe that condensed courses have their purpose (oil rig or iraq contractors who let their certs lapse, need to pick up EMT-B as fast as possible to continue their gig), however for the majority of the population and FIRST TIME STUDENTS SPECIFICALLY they are a TERRIBLE IDEA.
This is far above intermediate level requirements. Are you sure you took a basic course?
