That's probably a good idea for you, being done with this thread. Could get ugly otherwise.
The first place I linked to (Jersey Shore) runs classes for 3.5 hours on some weekdays and 8.5 hours on some Saturdays. They meet for 27 weekdays (which includes the "graduation") and 4 Saturdays. Go ahead and do the math since I must have got it wrong. If anyone wants to check it's all in the class schedule.
The next place I linked (Delran) actually might be 200 hours; Delran lists the class meets for 8 hours while the NJ state website lists the class as only meeting for 6...since neither of us know which is acurate, I guess you can have that one...
And then there's MONOC...which very clearly meets for only 157 hours.
Of course, all the wonderful places have to meet the strict NJ state requirement of 10 hours of clinicals, which, in all honesty is redundant to the whole point which is that NJ has a great history of attempting to keep the bar for the minimum standards for volunteers very low.
The only real "requiremts" that NJ has for EMT's is that they meet NREMT standards...no more, and thankfully no less.
I found all that out in roughly 7 minutes of googling...you live and work in New Jersey, right? Why don't you know what your own state is doing and requiring in regards to EMS education, and why do you insist on ignoring reality?
Edit: And as far as "outdated" info...those numbers came from the current class schedules. Face, you're just wrong.
