New and looking for help!!

[oldschool15]

Good afternoon all! I am looking for some guidance and becoming emt certified and eventually getting my paramedic certification. I just recently moved to san bernardino ca, and I am looking for the proper school to get started. Anyone have any suggestions that would be great. I am looking for a quick emt program but also has to be of quality training. I have read some classes online, that are very expensive, that are quick, but I doubt the training. I do have some background in the healthcare field, I took a medical assistant program a couple years ago, graduated but have since moved on from this. Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation.

I'm currently enrolled in a one semester course to get my certification. Every thing I've ever heard on the really quick courses, the one/two week ones, is to not do them, and there do seem to be a few scams out there. Spend a grand, go to a tech school, have fun with it, not too difficult of a course with good instructors, I wouldn't think.

most people dont like the training from the online classes. their goal is to pump out EMTs fast and dont care about the quality of training.
