Just finished that course: grueling as hell. Don't be a slacker. I graduated from a top University and I still thought that was mildly challenging even for me. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like for someone who just graduated from High School or who didn't go to college.
We're talking about 6 hour lectures, 4 days a week followed by a 6 hour practical the next day. Rinse and repeat for 4 weeks. Oh - did I mention quiz every lecture day?
Yea. But that's not all. The instructor - Matt Goodman, a real hot-shot in the SoCal EMS world - does not f*ck around. This isn't play time. He will grill the sh*t out of you until you trip up. In front of everyone. While he's yelling at you. One of my favorite quotes from him: "You better know your stuff."
Definitely a different approach to learning than the one I'm used to, but nevertheless a real roller-coaster ride that left me stronger and better equipped than most basics who run ambulances (from what I hear and from the 12 hour shift I pulled with a local 911). If you follow their directions, study well and come to class prepared and pass their class you CANNOT fail the NREMT. They are the best.
Recommended if you're ready to swallow the red pill.
