I've been throwing the idea around of attending NMETC's Online Paramedic Program. They seem to be pretty organized. I was wondering if anybody from New Jersey has taken their program before and if they were able to secure clinical locations in New Jersey to offset having to travel to Mass for clinical rotations. If anybody has done it before and can let me know it would be greatly appreciated.

A person I work with is doing that program. He seems to like it. They do do online interactive lectures.

PowerPoints at home vs. A classroom I really don't see a difference. You have to do the same hours in the hospital and on an ambulance for contact hours just like you would in a brick and mortar school building.
i went through the school 2 years ago.i would say go for it if you have great work ethic. it is a tough class, there really is not much difference in online vs classroom learning. it is a live lecture and you participate like you are in class. it was a great experience and the instructors are extremely smart and know how to teach.
