11 Best Emt Programs In Denver, CO (2022 Updated)

ACC is the best Community College in Colorado period. A large fraction of the teachers employed here are ex-Ivy League professors. My intro to business teacher was a top business professor at Clemson University. Most professors have PhD’s as opposed to a master’s degree. The grading process is very fair and these professors really care about your education and will go above and beyond to see that you succeed, granted you actually seek the help this is college people the teachers most likely aren’t going to come to you. There are so many different resources, including, but not limited too: Free tutors who are amazing ( in my opinion better than if you hired one), teachers who actually care about your future and present situations, book store/school supplies store on campus, a cafe with Caribou coffee, a milkshake machine and other great snacks, there are plenty of different areas to do school work or study that are very comfortable and convenient, they have hundreds if not thousands of majors and minors to choose from you want it, they’ve got it and so much more. Arapahoe Community College is by far the greatest her in Colorado. It is not overly priced the tuition rates are so great basically you can receive an Ivy League education for 10-15k per year. It’s an amazing way to save money especially when you are planning to go to a big university. Better to spend 10-15k on required pre- requisite classes, AKA GenEd rather than 25-75k. And since ACC has such amazingly qualified professors you won’t be behind , or unable to transfer successfully to a 4-year university, you will be able to make a smooth transition. Go to Arapahoe Community College; it’s for your own good. Thanks you won’t regret it😄 Dylan F currently enrolled studenDylan Fries

Veteran student here, all I can say is this school has been a waste of my benefits. The administration is aware that they are understaffed, busy, and stretched far too thin. Though nothing has changed not just with ACC but CCCS as well. There was a total of 4 semesters dealing with covid and distance learning, and there was no change in how it felt to learn from Spring 2020 till this past Spring 21. Four semesters with no change in how classes are taught, how students are engaged, how professors make sure that you are understanding the information, the list goes on and on. I had given up in most of my classes that I took here. I have felt everything but motivation, and determination to want to participate and study. The course I am studied in was faulty and dated. The introductory class alone is dated and will not prepare you for what it is to be an interior designer let alone give an actual representation of the work done in the field. I didn't learn to sketch, read floor plans, study the design process, bubble charts, box charts. I LEARNED HOW TO DECORATE. It was also very clear that if you wanted to decorate and only decorate you would do well in this program. I can’t believe how much this organization has failed its students and faculty. Save your scholarships, grants, and VA benefits and go else were.David Pratt

I’m seriously contemplating whether I to stop attending ACC. It doesn’t make since that online classes cost $100 extra per credit when a professor has you read chapters, and answer the chapter questions and do a weekly discussion question. There was no feedback to where I could know if I was grasping the concepts. I’d rather research what books each class provides and read them on my own then Pay $900 to a teacher that doesn’t communicate with us at all. On top of that, I experienced a micro-aggression during my final presentation where my professor asked if my business sold burritos because we were a Latino museum… This school needs to work with educating their teachers to learn how to treat their diverse students with respect and dignity. I was really excited to jump back into school. I had an entire plan but now I may just revise it and not include anymore investment at ACC.Victoria Gonzalez

I loved this class!!! I cannot say enough good things about Allison and Kelly. Allison is the best instructor I have ever had the pleasure to learn from. This is definitely her calling. She is super knowledgeable, patient, understanding, supportive… the list goes on and on!!! I was super nervous the 1st day and she stayed by me encouraging me the entire class. She made all of us empower one another and I left meeting some amazing women in this field. Kelly was also amazing, she showed me some of her techniques that helped me to view what I was doing in a completely different way and being successful with it too!! These 2 ladies want nothing but for you to succeed and have some fun while doing it! I’ll be taking Allison’s IV certification class next!!! Can’t wait!!! Thanks Allison and Kelly!!😍Jillian Taddy

I did the phlebotomy course and IV course with Allison and I would highly recommend both. She is an absolutely awesome teacher and person to work with. She’s also super experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to help you in any stage of your phlebotomy path, whether you’re just starting out and looking for jobs or coming in for a refresher. She does a great job of teaching on the model arms, guiding when you transition to real sticks, and answering questions as you go. I cannot recommend this class enough, especially if you want the most experience possible before starting a job! You also get to meet a lot of people with various knowledge and careers, so be willing to learn and share with them, too!Olivia Fite

This is one of the best classes I have ever taken. Allison is a natural, super high energy, very encouraging with tons of knowledge to share. Kelly was so helpful and patient, also with so much knowledge. It was refreshing to find instructors that are there for you. Not in a hurry to get through class and took time to answer all questions. Even offering to stay after to help if needed. I learned so much and had a great time doing it. I highly recommend this class!! Thank you Allison and Kelly for making it so interesting and fun!!lisa Riley

Our production required rapid Covid tests and results within 72 hours upon our shoot date arrival, located at various venues across the metro Denver area, Boulder, and Indian Hills. Action Labs provided a mobile test team, that provided rapid antigen tests with on-site results (15 mins). They made our productions hectic schedule and requirements, easy. Jennie, the owner, told me they believe "safety is the most important thing." Thanks Jennie, and Action Medical!Gregory Patten

Action medical Colorado is a great place to take your American heart association Basic life support (BLS) class. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. The class was fun and interactive. The cost of this course was comparable to all others in the Denver area. The class was four hours long with a test at the end. BLS cards are sent to students through their email.John Stegman

I needed to get my EMT skills check off done ASAP. I reached out to Action Medical they helped me make sure I have enough CE hours and came in on there day off to do my skills check off. They responded to emails quickly. They are very professional and kind. Highly recommend for any ems education needs!Victoria Hazard

This is by far the worst most unprofessional educational institution I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I wanted to take a CCNA certification course so I went to speak to adviser to get more info and to get a quote for tuition so I could save and avoid financial aide. When I spoke to the adviser (Misty) she quoted me for a 3 credit class and told me to sign up in November. When I came back in Nov, she could not get me registered into the class. She called the director of the program (Eric Vahling ) for assistance but he never answered her. Note, in the month prior I sent Mr. Vahling multiple emails and left voicemails and he would never return them. I had to camp out of his office and catch him to get help, he told me there was not enough interest so the class was off, sucks I had to hunt the man for that info but whatever. i enroll in another school, 2 weeks before it starts, Eric calls me to say the class is back on and to sign up asap. The class didn't let me sign up, I had to get Misty to override me into a class that wasn't full. 2 days later, Eric emails the class and lets them know an adviser must enroll us, THANKS! So class starts and I got to pay tuition to find it is 4x what I was quoted. I call Eric to inquire, no answer, I call his boss, Victor Vialpando, no answer. i show up at Victor office and find him, he says the adviser quoted wrong and there was nothing I could do and to go file a grievance, THANKS. I got down to financial aide to confirm and they say I have until the 6th, then I check my syllabus and it says the 4th, now I have 3 different dates so i'm confused. So I ask Denise in financial aide who else I could talk to if the dean and director didn't help and she gives me the number for the dean of students and vice president. I called them and the vice presidents assistant David did try to help, he was my first good resource so far. A weekend passes and I decide if all this has happened before the class started, I better withdraw and avoid further mess. I try and it says I can because i'm too late despite my syllabus and course schedule saying different. I rush to the school and see Rebecca in advising, I gave her the documentation showing the withdraw date had not passed and she got me withdrawn, Rebecca was a big help in this process. I urge everyone to look elswhere when it comes to a school, lower admin is not concerned with students and their success. Eric Vahling should not be responsible for any students educational career in any form or fashion. Ms. Reyna Anaya, Rebecca in advising, John Young and David Murphy were the only people who even cared enough to listen to what i had to say. Google restricts review length or this would be so much more detailed but do your own research, previous reviews are very similar. There are plenty of other schools that have your best interest in mind, for the most part this school is not one of them. With all the foreign students at this school, Im sure many have been screwed over by the lack of attention displayed by faculty here. I will do everything I can to steer people away until they get their act together, not sure who to report this stuff to but ill figure it out. They still have my account under another students name after I informed them of the error months ago. Finally, if Eric Vahling is the director of whatever program you are interested in, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND WILL OT HELP YOU.Delux 2471

The school has two campuses, both in aurora. It's very nice looking and the staff is usually helpful on your first day there. The classes are a good size and its always a hit or miss if you get a teacher that actually knows how to teach, but that is at every school. I would advise you be prepared to be on the phone for 30+ mins if you have any questions and lots of miscommunication after your first day. This school has the potential to be great if it would take the steps to train their employees to know how to do their job. I was told several different things about the steps i needed to take next in order to receive my financial aid, i was lied to about the amount of time i had to find a work study job, and when i finally found a job i was told i was over qualified. Please tell me how a student is over qualified for work study…. Staff seems to play around and chat with each other more than paying attention to students who need help. You would think students being an employee of the school would make a difference. It appears to me that some students are honestly there to just have fun and not help other students out. I needed to talk to a student to get information about one of my extra curricular activities and not one of them knew what to do. It took two weeks for me to get the correct information i needed. And after expressing my frustration with one of the staff members in charge, they shot back at me as if it was my fault that their staff didn't have the knowledge to help me succeed even though that is there job. It makes me wonder if these things are the reason their drop out rate is so high. Not being able to get a human being on the phone to know how to accept loans for school is the very first problem. If you can't help students accept their payment forms for college how are they going to even be motivated to go? CCA needs to do a better job of caring about its students and who it chooses to higher to work there.Kendice W

The most unprofessional college I have ever attended. I worked in the Veterans office and didn't get paid for two months (2015), due to my boss not sending in paperwork. Veterans were also not getting their paperwork or payments. I returned for tax paperwork to give VA disability and they just have "no record" of me. However, I have documentation and proof of the year I worked there. I went through the Veterans Office to get the paperwork, waited 2 whole months with no return call and physically going into the office three separate occasions. Next, I talked to two different ladies in HR (I won't mention names), she was supposed to give me paperwork that just stated I worked there, not even the paperwork I needed, that was 4 weeks ago. This college really tried to cover up the incident, and years later it is still affecting me due to not being able to get the proper paperwork from them. The only good thing about here is the classes are cheap, but they also are at the rest of the 13 community colleges in network.Anna Smith

Pima gave me an excellent experience by the support for the instructors and their resources provided to me. The CNA instructors were especially very wonderful, especially Mrs. Virginia Middleton, and are dedicated to ensure the success of their students. I would highly recommend the Nursing Aid program to anyone interested in pursuing a career in health care and would like direct contact with patients.J Ramirez

For anyone looking to start a career and is interested in the medical field I believe Pima will get you there. I started their RT program in March just finished my first semester and I couldn’t be happier my expectations were exceed. Professors and Staff have all been amazing. This is a great school to come to and I’m just happy to finally have something to look forward to once this is all done.Samantha Bejarano

I love going to school here! My teacher Mr. H was an amazing teacher and really cares about his students and that they are learning!!! I have tried college many times, and my experience with Mr. H was the best by far! love PIMA so much that I'll be back to continue my education! I've also convinced a cousin to try PIMA!!! I'll highly recommend the sterile processing program!!!!!!Kate Criswell

Fantastic location for renewal and first time CPR learners. Mrs. Anstett went out of her way to make the class fun and exciting. She was very passionate about her teachings and I enjoyed how detail-oriented she was. All in all, it was a great experience.Ash Beckham

Instructors were great. I enjoyed the examples and life experiences given to help understand. They really made us feel comfortable and helped us to understand and make sure we did things correctly. I highly recommend!Haleigh Hollywood

Very informative class, lots of helpful content, instructors were knowledgeable and gave great examples of real life situations. Highly recommend the class. Nice classroom environment.Athena Evans

I love this school and I am NOT the biggest fan of school to begin with. It's cheap! They make sure you actually get what you pay for. You get all the help you need and they offer FREE tutors who really are there to help you understand. They make it nearly impossible to fail. Everyone is kind students and all. Yes there are a few faults, like the incredibly slow Internet and some instructors, but over all I don't regret my choice of attending ccd.Sabrina Sheehan

My two boys are learning here. They get more great experiences with new environment, teachers and classmate here. Also, this school is cheap enough for everyone to begin again their study.Bich Ngo

From the Top Ten Public High Schools in the 5280 magazine; "As a magnet school serving a population of students with nearly 90 percent FRL assistance, CEC boasts high growth scores, especially in reading and writing. The school focuses on college preparation in addition to offering a range of career-oriented courses–such as construction trades, exercise and health sciences, welding, law, and digital film production–to help students discover their professional passions. Culinary arts students live up to the school's credo, "Do Something Real," by operating a full-service cafe as part of the CEC's Jefferson Park campus.Michelle Barbero

Great school to say the least. Came here full time for a couple of years. Great teachers and programs. I say to all young students now to take advantage of coming to a school like this. CEC will better prepare you for a good future. If you have a career in mind see of this school offers a program for that. Or try some other program they might offer. You never know you might find something you love amd stick to it. Anyway i would send my kids here if there is ever a chance to do so. Glad i came here for the short time that i did.JMPJOSE

So wait, you are giving the school a poor rating because they didn't let your son attend? How does that even work??? I think the whole point of the rating process is to visit a place, be a consumer of their services, and then offer an informed opinion. That's like giving some place a bad review because they were closed when you went there.Hope B

I just got a bill from your company and I never used your services!! How did you get my name and address and date of birth !!! Your company is a scam!Ricardo T
