My son has decided to join the medical field. Although not a doctor like his mother he wants to become an EMT. I give him all the credit in the world, its not the field for everyone but this world needs first responders!
He has done some research and found a few programs that to me look like they can give him what he needs. Basically were looking for a program within a few miles from home, offers certification, a quick program if possible, and not that high in price.
Please, if anyone has some honest and serious opinions about each of these I would appreciate hearing from you.
EMS Training Institute is offering an online EMT option. Although they did seem very nice on the phone when I called the other day, I dont feel that comfortable letting him take an online course especially in this field. Anyone hear about them and or been to one of the EMT Transition courses please speak up and share your experiences. How well did the online training work for you?
Foothill College is another one he is looking at and it looks like they have a terrific program. Sam is looking for a quick route so this may be an option. If there are any grads would love to hear your reviews of the program. What all certifications do you receive and did the course live up to your expectations?
Unitek Education offers a 14 day EMT boot camp. I called them today and heard a bit about the program. I saw their facebook page and it looks like the program is booming. It is pretty close to us and is something he and I may be considering but again would like to hear from past students if possible.
Chabot fire offers EMT certification but I didnt get to do much research on them yet. My son mentioned they dont offer a summer program but since summer is almost over anyway, if anyone knows when the next class beings or has any insight please share what you know.
Some guidance would be much appreciated! Thank you!
