6 Best Emt Programs In Las Vegas, NV (2022 Updated)

Nevada has some very shady deals with ambulances. My Nevada State Representative told me to go to Nevada University Medical – so I called the 'request an ambulance' line only to be shunted over to 911 for no reason and then on a subsequent call I was told they don't 'serve' North Las Vegas even though it's not far and the hospital isn't either. You who are writing these glowing reviews won't be doing so when you realize you have NO choices when it comes to which ambulance service you get when calling 911 and finding out you can't go to the hospital that best meets your needs. Telling me I don't 'meet their criteria' is a copout – that just means that no matter what the laws are (if they are indeed laws and not 'rules') leaves me without a way to get to a hospital I need to go to and not just some random hospital where they might not 'get' my condition. A CEO for an ambulance company who is getting paid insanely more than my $1500 a month, has no reason to care that a very sick person can't get help and get to the people who might be able to stop the horrid damage eight different doctors in the past (April through July) allowed to become life threatening. It's horrid that these contract entities care so little about the ill.Moirraine Campbell

Orvis, Sam, and the team are some of the finest folks I know this side of the Mississippi. I've lived in 7 states and 2 different continents in the last 10 years, and I've only found one other business that goes out of their way to excel at customer service. It's the little things like acting like an intermediary between vendors at 10:10 pm or bringing walkies and flashlights to use on a film set. They don't wait to ask to be of service, they just look for opportunities to serve and they do it. On paper, they're in the Emergency Rentals business, but truly, they're in the people business, and they serve their people with excellence. They over-communicate, they provide options, and they over-deliver at every turn. For your first vist, look for the auto body shop on Mojave, directly across the turn onto Ferne where Guardian Elite is located.Microbudget Filmmaker (Microbudgeter)

Guardian Elite Medical Services (GEMS) is amazing. Just finished their incredible EMT Basic course and loved it. Everyone who works there is great and a lot of fun. My teachers Robert Hoey and Scott Diel were the best and made class a ton of fun on top of extremely educational. Highly recommend also taking the extra classes they offer; like Wilderness First Aid and Live Tissue Training, taught by Robert Hoey, both of which were unbelievably awesome classes everyone should take!! Overall one of the best learning experiences I have ever had.Savannah Kirsch

Writing this for anyone considering this school. I highly suggest that you choose this one. The instructors are amazing, theyre classes are up to date with the latest tech and they are extremely responsive and professional. Debra was my instructor and she was amazing. Very patient with me and helpful. Also, I have to mention Christine who works up front. You'll probably meet her if you need to turn in anything or pick anything up. She knows her stuff. I know I'm repeating myself, but she too was incredibly professional and helpful. I don't think anyone could expect a better school. Thank you guys for helping me with my classes! Can't wait to take other courses you offer. -David MDavid Meagher

I had to fly out to Vegas to get my national registry paramedic practicals done. this place exceeded my expectations not only with the service they provided but how welcoming they where to someone from out of town. I paid to do the prep exam the day before so I could become familiar with the sites stuff and it was such a great help. it put my mind at ease for the following day. on exam day everything ran very smooth, very professional. we knew by the end of we had to retest and retest where offered that day. I would recommend to anyone needing to not only take a class but for any of your registry practical needs to come here they will not disappoint.Alex Coughlin

Started my EMT training the beginning of 2020 and finally finished. Great school. Met a ton of great friends , great environment. Lisa is probably the absolute best instructor I’ve ever had. Coming from bigger and smaller universities , she’s the best at her job and the time and patience to answer questions and take time out of her actual scheduled days to make sure we passed the National Registry. Passed my National registry exam the first try too! Great school.Brian Ponce

(Translated by Google) It is a spectacular place where your eyes are always pending I love coming to this place every time I have an emergency because I work with machinery that affects my eyes a lot but here fortunately they treat me well they tell me until my heart I pass well and excellent in this place (Original) Es un lugar espectacular donde siempre están pendientes de tus ojos me encanta mucho venir a este lugar cada vez que tengo una emergencia porque trabajo con maquinaria que afecta mucho mis ojitos pero aquí afortunadamente me tratan bien me dicen hasta corazoncito la paso bien y excelente en este lugarR0BlNS0N

I went here for NAAT test, the process & the results came less than 5 minutes (got positive test) It too quick, so I went to 2 other different places at the same day I tested here for RT-PCR test to make sure the results at OptimuMedicine is right. But the other 2 places I went, BOTH PLACES GOT NEGATIVE RESULTS. It can’t be different results when I took test at the same day, so I tried to email and prove them my NEGATIVE RESULT AT THE OTHER PLACES DIFFERENT FROM HERE. BUT INSTEAD OF HELPING ME TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE DENIED AND EVADE! 1 star because I can rate 0 star.M N

Do NOT I repeat do NOT go here for Covid testing if you’re expecting quick results!! They tell you it can be 24 – 72 and charge you $150 dollars thinking you’ll get your results… when in reality, you can go to one of the pharmacies and know sooner. Whats even worse is that they advertise that you can submit for reimbursement, but no one even answers the phone to get required information. Had to call UHC for referring them and fighting to get reimbursed while STILL WAITING on a result. Don’t be scammed when you’re worried about your health!!Quinci Dailey

I was looking to upgrade my EMT to AEMT online at a fair price and this place seemed to fit the bill. After initial contact they were super responsive and gave me a good amount of information about the course and the way things worked. You can finish the course pretty quick if you wish or take time to understand the material better but a year is more than enough time. The hands on portion of the class was super easy to schedule, the office where training is has some of the friendliest office people. The office is set up so you have access to water, cokes, snacks all day while you work on the hand on portion. The instructors were super friendly and make you feel at ease as they know people get nervous about testing. The good part is the national registry people show up for the last day so you can get that part of the NREMT out of the way. Most of my class were first time passes at the stations, and of the several people I talked to after class we all have passed the NREMT advanced test with first time goes also. Great program dont just look at it email them and get started and advance your self.Matt Martin

Very informative! Took my EMT course through NAR and currently working through my AEMT. Highly recommend this program! Any questions I have get answered promptly without any hassle. Also, the staff is insightful about how to acquire jobs and further training.Grace Newmarker

Took my EMT course through NAR, great course overall. Practicals were in person and every single person working at the Las Vegas NAR was awesome. I will definitely be back for more of their courses.Toren Anderson

GED®, HiSET® & TASC test prep classes offered for free through the High School Equivalency (HSE) classes. English as a Second Language (ESL) also offered at no cost. Friendly information desk in Building A for all Adult Literacy and Language classes.CL Brantley

(Translated by Google) Very friendly… They serve you very well and clarify all your doubts. Personally, I liked it a lot… (Original) Muy amables… Te atienden muy bien y aclaran todas tus dudas en lo personal me gustó mucho…Isidro Ruiz

I have only had great experiences here! Friendly receptionists, courteous staff, and I've never had to wait to pick up books, have a class, or meet with administration!Laura Porreca

I visited the Henderson facility but the classes I wanted wasn’t offered there so they referred me over to this campus. I was told I did not need an appointment with anybody to gather the information that I needed so that I could make a decision about attending school once more. I drove 25 miles to this campus…upon entering the school I was impressed by the cleanliness and the modernity of its buildings. Sad to say this is where the the fancy ends. I went straight to the information desk to ask where I could find the information. after fumbling about for 5 minutes, the student working behind plexiglass nervously hands me a stick it note. Written on the note was a phone number she insisted I call instead. I thought to myself how strange this is. I was expecting directions to an actual person or office and not a darn phone number I could have looked up myself without driving 25 miles. I walked a way from the clueless information desk to find answers on my own. I was eventually directed to student recruitment and got to speak to a guy named David. David turned out to be more clueless than the information desk lady. The guy sat down on his desk, flipped his pc monitor so I could see, and fumbled through his own colleges’ website. I don’t think he even knew how to spell the name of the program I was looking to get information from. Alas he gives me another phone number on another post it. I left without any more information about the degree I wanted. Absolutely none! For an institution that is supposed to offer higher education, these employees should be embarrassed about themselves. I will not be attending this school, nor would I recommend to anybody seeking to further educate themselves. Shame!Paul P

It’s an okay school. The class sizes are small no more than 50 people. Campuses are large, clean and really quiet which is great for studying, but the social scene is nonexistent. Everyone has different schedules which makes it difficult to network and make friends. I love that parking is free and abundant! Professors are ok, but there were a couple I found to be unapproachable and rude. One of my recent instructors, an older woman, would always stare me up and down like she was insecure or something lol. The staff in general just seems like they hate their life. I didn’t have problems with financial aid until my last semester. I think they’re doing some illegal activities now such as hoarding our grants. I was supposed to get the recent HEERF grant when I was one of the first to apply and accept it but never received it. They also tried to reduce my federal pell grant when I qualify for the full amount. UNLV offered me the full pell grant amount so IDK why they lowered mine when it should be consistent no matter what school you decide to go to. I’d recommend getting your associates here and then transfer to UNLV to save. UNLV has a more upbeat, friendly vibe. Make sure to be pushy with financial aid because they will try to shorthand you.B

I was just there on Monday, I was told a lot of misinformation. I’m considered and out-of-state student.I spoke to a financial advisor and he seemed nice, he saw on my profile that I owe $5000 in balances.. he doesn’t say a word. I finally see financial aid and they also fail to tell me that I owe money. I finally see the cashiers desk and then it’s printed on my paper that I owe a balance, me being confused I didn’t understand why. The lady at the cashier desk awkwardly told me to see financial aid and ask them. I do that and the woman who I spoke to the first time told me that I won’t be getting a refund . AFTER SHE JUST LIED TO ME BECAUSE I SAW THE SAME WOMAN IN THE FINANCIAL AID LINE. Unfortunately I just couldn’t pay for classes so I had to drop them. Very disappointed!! Just to note I was approved a pell grant but it wasn’t enough. I would’ve had a balance of $3000 to pay off.Kay Kay
