Hey, I applied for the Palm Springs location, and in the email the HR rep wrote they were fully staffed. However, they want you to complete the application process, ie.. apply online, turn cert copies, and take written test, so they can place you on their waiting list. I am only gonna go ahead and complete the process for the San Diego area.

Thanks for the info, my guess is that I will be on that waiting list forever...

I don't have much experience as an EMT besides class and the 48 hours I did with Palm Springs AMR during my ride outs.

:(

meets 4 times total and fufills the 24 hour CE requirement, you still need to do all the actual work like paperwork and going to testing sites yourself. Crafton will just give you the skills verification and certificate stating you have completed 24 hrs. they will also do AHA CPR recert.

the instructor is a medic and hes a great teacher

That reminds me my CPR card expires this month!!!
I have no idea where to go renew it. I didnt even know crafton did that, I will have to snoop around and see if they have a CPR class available.

Yeah. I was at the graduation for the fall class of 2011 exactly a years since our graduation. It felt soo weird being on the other side and on the stage watching all the students.

Pretty funny that I found this topic. My EMT instructor at Crafton gave me a phone number to a lady at AMR, I talked to her and she told me to apply online. I applied to Rancho, Redlands, Riverside, and Palm Springs AMR. I got an Email from a lady an hour later telling me to come down to Rancho for the AMR written test. I don't know what to expect or what happens next. But I did see a guy post earlier that he did all that and has been waiting for 10 months...

I don't want to get my hopes up. Its pretty cool to see people talk about Crafton and other cities that are close by where I live.

How many questions is it? What happens next skills test?

I feel kind of rusty in that area. I haven't practice skills in a year or so... :/
 
100+ questions no skills. Skills come with your interview and vary between divisions

To date I have only heard of one division that does skills testing (Palm Springs). For the others you may have 1-2 interviews.
