Yes, I would recommend Valencia West FAR over Seminole State. I heard Seminole lost its charter to even teach EMS courses due to a very high failure rate. Valencia West is absolutely the best program in the area--they work you very hard but you get a very good, solid education there.

Where in Central FL did you go to school?

I have noticed that many of the PCT jobs want you to do phlebotomy, so I am considering taking a course in that to make myself a more desirable applicant. In the meantime, I have some contacts in the elder care industry, where I may be able to get a job as a tech--slightly different than a CNA...
