10 Best Emt Programs In Brooklyn, NY (2022 Updated)

I do NOT recommend this school! Honestly I was excited to go here and looking forward with completing this course. I went here for the EMT Basic Program. Let us start from the beginning. On the website they have a price of how much you would pay, but when you get there they tell you something completely different. Then they say the offer financial aid for EMT or payment plans, but when I asked to do it they said they don't do financial aid yet it says it online. So I offered to do a payment plan and they said that I couldn't, so I said okay then I won't attend. All of a sudden it's ok we can do a payment plan, that should've been my cue to not attend. Next the clinical person David, is really unpleasant. He talks to you as if you are beneath him, he is just rude. The course is rushed, if you did not go to school before or have a degree like myself, I don't recommend. The pace is too fast and they teaching is all over the place. Third they have this computer course online which is basically the computer reading what's in the textbook out loud. Unfortunately, that is why I failed because I missed two readings that had little quizzes in them. Which made no sense to me because I like to read the book myself than off the computer. Also, because of that they gave make up courses and two exams to take and said if I passed it, they would allow me to pass the class. I PASSES THEM AND THEY STILL SAID THEY COULD HELP. All the want is your moneyyyyyy!Ri. Marie

I should have read ALL of the reviews on this "school." I was really super excited about coming here but they are all about the $$ and don't care about your education. The clinical clearance coordinator, David Izso, is NOT friendly at all. He called me multiple times about a vaccination that I had to wait to get due to doctor appts being booked out and was talking to me if I was a child. Very unprofessional. They terminated me on a Friday, 4 days before the next semester, and a holiday weekend for failing ONE class after allowing me to take a makeup final for another class knowing I was already going to be terminated. They booted me off my portal, I had no access to ANY grades, my agreement signed through the school email, or even access to the other portal where I was messaging my professor. I have friends in nursing SCHOOLS in NYC that are allowed to pay and makeup a class failed after the first time. This school, no. They want me to apply again to just take more money from me. They hounded me everyday to pay my balance but when you want to speak to someone in regards to grades they just send you to voicemail and terminate you. I do not recommend CAHE. Save your $$ and do your research just like most of these reviews say.Brianna Tetefsk

I graduated from the paramedic program yesterday and I wanted to just share some information with anyone reading this. I joined the Full-Time Paramedic program and have had a wonderful experience. The program is rigorous but I found the course load to be very doable. The program leadership (David Skolnick and Joel Abraham) really works with each individual student to ensure they are able to succeed and become competent prehospital providers. They had many opportunities to do clinical rotations at various agencies throughout NYC and upstate NY. About 1 quarter into my program, they updated a lot of their equipment as well. Overall, I am very happy to have been trained by CAHE and highly recommend it to anyone looking to join become an EMT or Paramedic.Shulem Rosenbaum

I took a course with this training center because they had amazing reviews and they seemed very professional and knowledgeable. However, it's now been a week since I took my ACLS course and I'm still having an issue getting an e-certification sent to me. A simple email for the certification that I paid for can somehow not be sent to me. And now I can't even reach the office. Needless to say, go somewhere else if this is something you truly need. While the instructor, Sam was fantastic it's completely not worth all of the excuses that you'll get attempting to get your certification from them. Update: The office is now citing policy to me and telling me there's a processing time of 7 days and 22 with the American heart association. However, in all of my correspondence and phone calls with this office, not one person was knowledgeable enough to tell me this. Instead, I was reassured multiple times and lied to that I would get my certification when I called about it and when I emailed about it and I have more than enough proof to that effect. But now I'm getting told what the policy truly is and that the office doesn't work on weekends when I spoke to people over the weekend and I was told it was being worked on over the weekend and there are weekend hours posted. But not surprising that I'm being lied to once again.brianna solis

I had a really wonderful experience with Marian, my in-person BLS skills and CPR trainer through the Emergency Training Center. She was thorough, approachable, and gave very helpful feedback. The resources I was given to prepare i.e. an instructional video and online exam really helped me feel prepared for my training session with Marian. We reviewed/acted out exactly what to do in many different emergency scenarios detailing crucial details that give the best outcomes for people needing life-saving care.Lauren Krug

The actual hands on training was very helpful and thorough and the instructor was great. However, after completing the course I never received my CPR card that i needed ASAP for my new job as an RN. It was very frustrating. I called the training center 4 times and sent 4 emails with no response, it was not until the 5th time i called that i got a response and received my card 2 weeks later. Very inconvenient.Emily Plumly

Outstanding , Efficient and Effective. I enrolled and completed the EMT Refresher course. The company and its team members made it very conducive for me to prepare for my upcoming NY EMT exam: it has been over 12 years since I took my last NY EMT exam. The lecture classes were presented via zoom meetings which were interactive and supplemented with online video classes. The skills classes were conducted in person with highly experienced, friendly, and humble instructors: I had instructors who are a fireman, an instructor at the FDNY EMS academy, a publicly commended EMT who courageously rescued a law enforcement officer in severe traumatic distress – to name a few. Sean G., one of the instructors and coordinator, was always engaging in zoom meetings and accessible offline. Aura (RTI – Rescue Training Institute Division) has team members who are actively involved and engaged with the NY State Dept. of Health and other health agencies or organizations, relating to EMS protocols, hence the training is up to date with respect to NY EMS protocols. In summary, I would highly recommend RTI for EMS training as they are well organized to provide the training needed to pass the NY EMT exam as well as the real life and hands on skills to deliver proper and quality patient care.Richard Tom

Excellent staff and course. The hybrid model and the flexibility in what time of day you can choose to attend your practical skills lectures made this course perfect for my busy schedule. As with any medical course there is a lot of studying but the competent and attentive instructors are very helpful. They ensure your questions are addressed and that you have effectively learned the material or skill. Most if not all of the instructors are currently working in the field or have recent field experience in the NYC EMS system which extremely valuable. I recommend this course to anyone interested in EMS.Ryan A Gomez

I took this Yeshiva accelerated EMT course organized by Dr. Levy this June. It was most definitely a great experience! The instructors go above and beyond and are exactly how you wish your professors in college were. I would love to work a shift with any one of them. PS if you ask nicely they tell you some really interesting stories about their experiences.Boubacar Balde

I want to take the moment to thank BH training for this amazing experience. From start to finish was great, highly organized and fun! I want to mention some points that was my highlights throughout the course. Benny's anatomy explanation with such clarity especially on the heart and on cellular lever was my favorite lesson. Moshe Kish lessons was explained with such heart and gusto and of course fun to listen and left with zero questions. Sara Markovits particle lab on CPR skills. Steve with his lively lectures! I want to thank the entire team for this opportunity. May we all be blessed with what we need! With much appreciation,Shlome Knopfler

B&H is a really good EMT training program! Our instructor Matthew was not only good at teaching the material but also incorporating his experience and knowledge into the lectures! This made it really enjoyable to learn and come to class every week. The office was very responsive and helpful and made it easy to know what needed to be done to pass the class. Overall, I could not be happier with this program. I am starting my job as an EMT this week. Thank you to B&H for everything!Keaton Hild

I had an amazing experience at B&H . All of the instructors did an amazing job and I am so grateful for everything I learned while there. Marisol is a wonderful teacher and Benny was very supportive. All the office workers sent regular emails updating me on my grades and giving me tips on how to stay on track. All the other instructors they brought in were very helpful as well. I don’t think I’ll ever forget any of them. Thanks, B&H!Hugo Portorreal

Amazing program. Came here through a tough patch in my life in search for betterment and definitely got what I wanted. HUGE shout out to my instructor Karen. She is a Gem, and you only come across people like her a few times in your lifetime. She literally wants what’s best for her students and she literally sacrifices her own free time to give students everything they need to become great EMTs. She’ll answer your texts as soon as she can and she literally has your back. I had a family emergency during this course and so I had to miss a week unfortunately. Karen organized with the office and contacted me throughout to make sure I was up to part. Upon finishing the course I don’t think I could’ve done it without her. Whatever ECP is paying Karen they better double it. Never seen such a hardworking, and self less person as Karen! I don’t know when she has time for herself because she’s always so busy helping others. She’s a one of one instructor, first-class if you ask me. I’d personally call the office and request for them to give you a class that Karen would be teaching. She will give you the best educational experience. You’ll learn from the best and you’ll be a great EMT through her. Overall good program, but a substantially GREATER program with Karen as your lead instructor.Matthew Sukhnandan

Being at ECP has inspired me to pursue my dreams and help save many lives. I had the pleasure of having Karen Fiorello and a lot others as my instructors and they’re the best I could ask for. They’re there to help whenever you need it and as much as you need it. They make sure that you know how it feels to be on the field, what you have to do and definitely make sure that you MAKE SURE that “YOUR SCENE IS SAFE”. This has been the best experience and I’m happy I’m a part of the EMS family. Karen also gives you the opportunity to become an instructor and help others as well as they helped you.Raelis B Garcia (Rae)

I had Karen as an instructor during my time at Emergency Care Programs. She truly wants each and every student to excel and know their stuff. She incorporates her humor into all of her lectures and while emphasizing the critical things you need to know while you’re out in the field. Aside from lectures, the other instructors that were present had high expertise in the skills aspect of the course. As a students it really helped because they answered every question and often times challenged you to answer it yourself. Overall great experience and met an awesome group of people along the way.Andrew Preus

When I decided I wanted to become an EMT my friend who previously took this course recommended it to me and it surely did not disappoint! They have lots of different days you can choose from and different locations as well. I was lucky enough to have Karen as my instructor. Karen is one of the toughest, smartest, hard working women I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She truly knows what she’s doing and has tons of experience and great instructors who are very skilled and take their time with you and make sure you know what you’re doing. She is very fair and as long as you are willing to give her your best and work hard you will get all the best out of this course! Karen has a great reputation and lots of great connections and you will get great opportunities just for being one of her students-that is if you work hard. This class was more than worth it and I highly recommend her class. I am very lucky and proud to have been one of Karen’s students. I will forever be greatful for her and the skills and family we now have from that class. THANK YOU SO MUCH KAREN!elizabeth flores

I would like to thank everyone at ECP, but especially Karen Fiorello, for a fantastic learning experience! My main instructor Karen made our class feel like family. Karen and our other instructors, Moshe, Lucy, Roo, Matt, and Luke (sorry if I'm forgetting anyone!) created a fun and friendly environment. All of our questions were answered and we were given plenty of time to practice. We even had a mock MCI day!! Everyone that made it through till the end of class passed and I hope we will one day work together in the field!Gregory Wolfson

The class was amazing. At the beginning I was nervous that I wouldn't understand any of the material. Through out the course, the instructors were very knowledgeable and provided the tools that really helped me better understand the skills and concepts. They made us feel like one big family. The head instructor, Karen, was one of the best instructors that I have ever been in a class with. She goes above and beyond to make sure you succeed. Would totally recommend this school and the EMT-B accelerated course.Nadya Doytchinova

Unbelievable people so nice and respectful they make you feel as if your their family thank you for all your great work.samuel gillig

This place is terrible. The service was great but I have been fighting them for two years to properly bill me for the service I received in 2020. I have called repeatedly with excuses that my insurance has rejected their claim or they have the wrong insurance information. My insurance rejected their claims because they were submitting bills after they got paid trying to get more money. The truth is the my insurance paid them in August of 2020 and they continue to bill me the wrong amount and pressure me on the phone to pay it. I have even done a three way call with my insurance company and the billing people to work this out correctly. Everything was fine when we all were on the phone and it was being worked out. About two weeks later they sent me to collections again for the full amount of the service with no insurance processing or payment applied.Ath Axio

They are the kindest and most efficient group of volunteers around. They also provide CRP training and other. I highly recommend using Park Slope Ambulance.Imani House

The defensive driving course was by far one of the most useful classes I've taken in years. Not only will it help reduce points on your License, it also helps save 10% off my car insurance for the next three years! The instructor, Robby, was extremely professional and personable. As an added bonus, he was pretty funny.Izzy Herman

The phlebotomy course was amazing! All instructors we’re highly experienced and are devoted to help us start our career. Highly recommended!!David Silverberg

Yep, study on your own, understand it and own it. That’s what will determine if you’re cut out to be a medic. The EMT program is great. The medic program even more so. The instructors, professors and coordinators are there for you on a level I have never seen before. BLS, ALS rotations, scenarios, team-dynamic skills, clinical rotations, non-stop studying but wait there’s more! I’m just too tired to sleep (I’m just going to leave that how I wrote it) and that’s why I can’t write a better review. Tons of hands on skills practice. You get 4 hours of sleep a night if you’re lucky. 6 in the daytime. 10/10 worth it. Wonderful people to work with. I’ll update later.N G

The emt course prepares you just for the in class exams The state exam is a bunch of different scenarios that you have to understand and know what to do in those type of situations So study on your own (dont depend on the teachers) I didnt give thia course a high score do to lack of organization and a pessimistic atmosphereGrace
