Some of you are misunderstanding what we do. We do not train students at our own facility. We promote medical programs and refer the students to EMT/paramedics schools that are state certified.
Some schools have a hard time getting students and thats where we are here to help. Also, many emt/paramedic schools does not help students find jobs once they complete their training (they mainly focus on helping students get their license/certification and leave it up to the students to find work) so our packages include everything from room, board, to job placement services.
Once again, students are not trained at our facility. They are sent to a EMT/paramedic schools that are state approved. We help them fill seats, provide packages that includes room, board and help the students get hired.
Any other questions please contact us directly at our email in the above post.
The schools don't need help. If they are legitimate programs, they will be filled by students. There is no shortage of EMT-B's. Moreover, if the student wants to attend the program, it is completely idiotic to do it through a third party that is going to charge them 4-6 times the amount that they would pay have they went directly to the school. Your service is a scam, and you are quite aware of it. I too will be contacting the NREMT as well as your particular state's board of EMS and the Indiana board of EMS. Furthermore, you might want to listen to the opinion of some of the members here like Rid, seeing as they have done work DIRECTLY with the NREMT and have more than likely contributed to creating questions for the exam. We see your type all the time, you come in and offer your little explanations for how things are and why you are a good service, yet you can't back it up.
Here is a challenge.
List the costs associated with your program (NOT INCLUDING THE FINANCIAL AID YOU SPEAK OF), btw, just so you know.. we are not idiots. Having been through a bachelors of chemistry, bachelors of nursing, and an associates of paramedicine, I am keenly aware of the fact that Federal Pell and many title IV funds only pay for DEGREE SEEKING PROGRAMS. EMT-B is not one of them. Therefore, the student is left to bear the burden of Federal Direct Loans, etc.
What you are doing is, in essence charging 4-6x the amount so you can pay the true amount to the program (IF YOU EVEN DO THAT), collecting the grossly inflated amount, and moving on to your next victim. Therefore, I challenge you to list in a single post, the costs associated with your program, not including the "financial aid" you speak of, examples of which include your "textbook fees", etc, and moreover, I challenge you to list the same costs associated with one of the programs you place the students in and DIRECTLY link me to the school's LEGITIMATE .EDU website showing those associated fees, while also listing for me the direct type of financial aid you speak of in your program (eg: PELL, FFEL, FPEL, Direct Loan, Perkins, etc).
A legitimate business would have no problem making this post. Anything other than the data requested in your next post will be taken as an admission of guilt on your part. Look forward to hearing from the Better Business Bureau, the Internal Revenue Service, Boards of EMS in the states which you place students, as well as the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, as I am in the process of typing up a formal complaint citing all the discrepancies pointed out by the individuals of this site. Let's see who remains standing.
