Paramedic Course/Accreditation/Arizona Academy of ES

[bowers381]

I'm applying for the Arizona Academy of Emergency Services. Does anyone have any experience with them and can give any insight on their Paramedic program. I also was told in an email by them they are non-accredited however they are on the state approved list so I can't imagine them not being credible. Just looking for some insight from those who are more knowledgeable.

Move on and find another program that is accredited

Starting Jan 1, 2013 (I think), NREMT will no longer offer national credentialing to graduates of non-accredited paramedic programs.

That's right, however CoAEMSP recently released that as long as the programs sends a "letter of intent" they will be able to function, as least for now.

IMHO, they need to cut the cord and get that wagon roll'n. If you not accreditated then to bad. This has been coming for several years.
