FDNY EMS Candidates

All of your books are paid for by FDNY, But you must purchase the all black duffle bag at quarter master, you will be hauling all of your books in it ( trust wait til you see the size of the OPS Guide). Purchase a pair of good running shoes for PT.
PT is no joke and just work out til you are called. Cardio and core training.

Okay...Okay. Thank you so much for this.

One more thing, how will you know you have been called would you get mail or would they call you ?

I hope that duffle bad isn't expensive.

Picture this. Your ENTIRE "refresher" course is a full EMT course compressed into three weeks with a LOT of material thrown at you. As Techlife said. Study your *** off and you'll do great. Word of advice, take PM class. Instructor Troisi is a great instructor, 100% passing rate on the state for PM class.

Wait three weeks ? That's it ? Well, how about that. I have intention of throwing all of me into this. Lol. Oh and we get to choose what kind of classes and the teacher ?

Dope. Thanks for the heads up on who to look out for.

The academy is 13+ weeks, academics was 4 1/2 weeks exact.. No you don't choose classes, No you don't choose instructors, this isn't high school ( no offense ) you follow the FDNY EMS curriculum as it is set.
IE: They teach you what you need to know and so much more, remember this is a job and they want it done their way.

Ohhhh okay. I'm number 1504. My investigator he estimated around October classes. So, I've been doing what I can to prepare.


I figured I'd come back here and just ask and give that a shot since google wasn't bringing the greatest of results.

Okay. Right. So, it sounds like they prepare you as much as possible and as long as you put in the work in your off-time you'll be okay. Sounds straightforward enough.

I just want to put this out there for all who will be going into the next class in October and future classes.
The academy is training you for your job in the FDNY EMS system, NOT high school.
you will run into people unfortunately who think they are still teens and act like it.
They will get your entire class into punishment TRUST ME, DON'T BE THAT GUY/GIRL.
gossiping and bullying are alive and well with some people in the classes, I have seen it first hand towards some really good people.
DON'T BE THOSE PEOPLE.
You will not like everyone and you will like many. Just go in learn your job to the best of your ability, don't get written up and finish what you came in there to do.
Honestly I am disappointed in what I saw grown a** adults do to others,
The instructors are great and they are there to help you pass, so RESPECT THEM and listen, you will learn.
They are a great group of teachers.
Again go in, learn, work, keep up and do your part and leave the high school drama home.
It's 13 weeks of getting through this and getting stationed where it matters.

Good luck to all.

6 months minimum to get a list number from ANY civil service exam.... Regardless of where you are applying. Them depending on your list number is when you will get calls for things like your PAT/CPAT (if you have considered fire). Etc.

Exam #5003
List #11XX
Took Two years to get into the Academy.


This is just so you have an idea on where we ended up. A few of my classmates are on here in the same boat. Its a quick process if you find something to do in the mean time.
 
Hey guys I'm on list 6003 list number 3xx, from reading the forms I don't think I'll make the October class. I think I'll make the January class, or July class. My friend is getting married in June 2017. My concerns are that the bachelor party wants to be away for a couple of days. I'm worried if I'm away I won't get my letter or won't be able to receive my phone call in Jamaica that's where everyone wants to go. Also I'm worried if I do make the October class and I get put on probation would I be able to ask for the days I need off? Or should I opt out of the bachelor party and hope they do something more local. also I'm in the wedding party. So it's important for me to show up to the wedding. Comments and what everyone thinks is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Sorry I don't have the answer to your question. I'm in a similar situation (bachelor party and wedding) if I were to be selected for this upcoming October class and I have no idea what to do.

Does anyone know when (around what dates) to potentially expect calls for the upcoming October class?

Of course ! Point is, exam 5003 isn't done yet ! Ppl on 6003 have to wait ! Like everyone else !

Ok brother, Calls should be going out next week sometime, This class has only 3 1/2 weeks til graduation.
So P.T. is not joke if you haven't started get yourself into some cardio and core training.
Good luck
 
Did anyone have an experience where they sent that verification letter over to your current job but didn't end up calling you for the next class?
 
I know 5003 still has people to be called for the October class, but if the 6003 class can post if they get called and what their number is that'd be great. Just help some of figure out a small idea if when we'd get called lol

I'm just trying to figure out if we have a chance so I can give my current job a heads up man. If we do get in this month it'd be nice to know soon. Do you have a low list number?
