20 Best Emt Programs In Louisville, KY (2022 Updated)

I would recommend HCC to anyone who seeks a regular education but if your untrusted in the nursing school through this school stay away! If you are a self learning person who can Consume large amounts of information quickly then you will do fine in this nursing school! If you are not they will chew you up and spit you out and not even care, they will take your money and pays you out of the nursing program without so much as a single moment of help. The director of nursing will call you names and insult you and threaten you and the principal of the school when it was brought to her attention about the behavior of the director of nursing and the problems within the nursing department, and the bulling from the Nursing staff towards the students was insulting! The principal will laugh in your face and not even try to help you, but The principal, will take your suggestions on how to improve the nursing program for future students but as for you a current struggling student you will get absolutely no help even if you go to the staff every single week you will get absolutely no help and they will watch you fail out of nursing school and take your money. So if you cannot learn quickly and suffer from any kind of disability, do not waste your time and your money in this nursing program, because they will just destroy your soul and your life!Roy Scott

The only reason I am giving this school a 3 star rating is because of the teachers. Don't get me wrong every school has its problems but the majority of the teachers there are amazing. The problem with this school is anything and everything that has to do with the admissions building. It is full of nothing but student workers that don't know how to do their job. Trying to get an actual adult on the phone that actually works there for a living and not minimum wage is like pulling teeth. You will not get anything done by the deadlines they have because you will not be able to get any help from anyone. I wouldn't call about a problem you're having because you'll likely have to call back because you got an unhelpful response and have to make multiple calls back, go directly there and make a professional assist you or you will get no where.Beth Knight

I have been communicating with Ms. Deloria Scott for the past few months over the phone. I am in the midst of the overwhelming process of moving cross-country and enrolling in a new school. I had plenty of questions for Ms. Scott and she always was able to help me out and answer all of my questions with her positive attitude toward her job. Although I have not attended HCC just yet, I am confident that if the quality of education is half as good as the customer service I will be satisfied.Jillian Brown

I graduated in the Summer of 2018, and I wanted to say overall my experience with OCTC had been good and not very much complaint, but I do have to say that I do not appreciate the way they shipped my AA diploma, and I know others have complained about this too. They shipped it in a flimsy envelope as if the achievement didn't deserve a better way of shipping. The certificate was crinkled on the edges and was bent down the middle. Overall I was able to flatten it out and frame it and was okay, but the lack of respect to graduates on this is kind of sad on OCTC's part. Future reference please do not treat your graduates this way. I wouldn't mind having a new one reshipped to me properly this time, and if I do get one then I will give OCTC a better rating. Until then three stars is all they are getting from me.The Bluegrass Genealogist

Owensboro Community & Technical College offers a variety of programs including: mechatronics, electrical maintenance, computer programming. They also sponsor and host the First Lego League Regional tournament each year. Hancock County Middle School has 2 teams that participate in this robotics competition each year.Gabe VanCappellen

Everything you could hope for from a community college. Great classes and teachers. Classes are cheaper than any 4 year college and credits are guarenteed to transfer to other local colleges. It has wonderful student support services and it's tutoring center in the best in the tri-state area.Rebecca Thwaites

Very honest review: as an RN I thought the class was pretty pricey as id been spoiled having free updated bls through the workplace; however with the knowledge and instruction this class provided I thought WOW. This class is worth it’s weight in gold with instructor Mike! He is a firefighter by trade, and just an overall excellent teacher. I feel so proficient, though I’ve known these skills for years that I seriously recommend this class to everyone! Heck, I may even sign my teenager up because how great is one more lifesaver in the world?! Schedule: upon initial scheduling (this once in a blue moon occasion my little toddler got sick with a high fever- had to stay home from daycare), and rescheduled the night before with an email.. CPR of Louisville was so gracious and sent me an email telling me the instructions that I would be able to reschedule my class with their regards for my tots sickness 😭💗. So when I rescheduled, Saturday was the best option and surprisingly they had that available!!! How amazing 🤩 is this company’s policy?! Overall I highly, highly, hiiighly recommend this class and will be taking more (they have ACLS, PALS, etc.) in the future! Thank you to my instructor Mike and CPR of Louisville for everything!Sookie Bear

I took the CPR/AED and First Aid class May 24th, 2022. There were only 5 students in the class, which made the experience even better! Our instructor Mike did an awesome job at answering any questions we had and brought real life situations to the discussion. You never know when you may need to learn these life skills and I would definitely recommend my friends, family members, and strangers to take this course!sydney r

I have over 50 years of experience in health care and this was the BEST BLS class I have ever taken. My instructor was Mike who is a fireman and EMT. He told stories of his field experience that emphasized safety and how to best adjust techniques for effectiveness. Mike said we would learn something new during the class and I did! Thanks, Mike!Lynn Chapple

The staff at Gateway KCTCS care about one thing, money. The bottom line is more important than there word or the rules frankly. They pick and choose what is applicable to their narrative in order to screw over the customer. My first two years at Gateway were fine, nothing special or overtly negative. However after having issue with some faculty who were verbally abusive, I was denied switching classes. In particular Susan Santos, Teri Vonhandorf, and the president of the school Dr. Figueroa should be ashamed. Their lack of accountability, honesty, and compassion is borderline heartless. If you value your money, time, education, or want to have simple quality human interactions, avoid Gateway.Matthew

Gateway has been the best life decision I have made!!! Very affordable tuition, available and friendly staff, great communication, and easy admission process. I have networked and learned so much from students and staff at Gateway. I always had support and guidance when needed. I graduated from Gateway and have since transferred. However I miss the close knit and friendly environment. I would highly recommend this school, many of my friends and relatives now attend. Go Gateway!!!!Treen Butler

No problems for years, then the director of nursing me I should reevaluate my career path because I am stressed out due to not being able to access my assignments. Turns out she didn't have me on the class roster to be able to access them……… After speaking with several others in my class I decided to update this review to add that she has also given the same advice to 3 others that I am aware ofAngela Partin

Do NOT waste any of your money on this very unprofessional establishment. I refuse to call this a school since I mostly taught myself everything while I was here. My classmates and I had to pay for everything that made no sense for us to pay for. We spent over $1000 to take the class, and then told we had to pay (OUT OF POCKET) to take our exams, do our homework, to get a background check, and more! The only thing we did not pay for was the one shirt they gave us to wear to class. Aside from this, any concerns, or questions, we had about class would not get answered (or just blatantly ignored) by the owner, Sarah Clark. After many emails being sent, she would ignore certain emails even after us confirming to her that they were in fact being sent when she would lie about never receiving them. Another example of her unprofessionalism, a classmate of mine was told he was passing the class before our final exam, but then was told 30 minutes after our following class started that he wasn’t allowed to sit for the exam, because of his grade. Then when asked about the situation, Sarah made a rude comment about how this student, “wouldn’t pass even if he took the test”, then proceeded to laugh at him. A very unprofessional establishment when you would better off going to BCTS for an actual education compared to what you would receive here.Ryan Perkins

I love EMTP! I recommend it to everyone I know who is looking to go into EMS. I was a student in Jason Randall & Matthew Ellis' 2017-2018 EMT-B class. It was by far the best classroom experience I've ever had. Jason is a fantastic instructor who genuinely cares about his students throughout the class, through exams, and into their careers. He wants and expects nothing but the best for his students, and makes it known. Matt is also awesome, very eager to teach, and always willing to lend a helping hand! Class sizes at EMTP are small-medium. I believe my class had ~14-16 by the end, and I know of another class that just had 4 or 5 students! They're very manageable, close knit classes. You're likely to meet some new close friends at EMTP! Several of my classmates & I still keep in contact, well over a year after we finished. All of the other staff & instructors at EMTP that I met were wonderful as well. Wayne, likely one of the first people you'll meet in the office is super friendly & helpful. The other instructors that helped my class, while I only met each a time or two, were also really helpful. By the time exams rolled around, I felt more than prepared. Albeit, terrified, but prepared. I've never been so happy with my choice in schools & class experience. If I could do my EMT course all over again, I'd go back to EMTP.Sondra Wilham

Matt Ellis is probably the best teacher I have ever had, he has a way of reeling you into the lecture were it is not only fun but deeply informative. Matt’s really able to keep the class alive. Taking his course really gave me a great understanding and the confidence I needed. Would definitely recommend him and this school, I only wish Matt taught paramedics too so I could take his class on that as well. The rest of the staff at emtp was super helpful and kind and I appreciate all the help. (Passed NREMT 1st attempt through emtp bootcamp)Julius Jitsu

I have been a side kick with Joe for many years Joe is committed in seeing the students get the best training possible to prepare them for employment. He and the Instructors at Life-Savers are committed to giving themselves to see that the students succeed. It takes a lot of hard work from both the students and Instructors. I believe this organization is one if not the best to learn from. I’m proud to be a part of Life-Savers. Kim is very dedicated to help Joe make this the best. If your looking to become an EMT and making a career of EMS, you CAN NOT go wrong with Life-Savers. Danny ChapmanDanny Chapman

Hands down the best EMT course! Amazing group or people dedicated to ensuring that each and every student has the knowledge and skills needed to pass the National Registry Exam on the first attempt. I definitely recommend them to everyone interested in becoming an EMT!Amber Johnson

Outstanding company that provides top notch training. They truly believe in what they say…”We don’t want good EMTs; we want GREAT EMTs. Their staff has the experince and resources to make this possible.K

I started the automotive program with some knowledge about cars but definitely learned way more in this course. Found out I was doing some things wrong and how to correct them, definitely useful for my career. Very glad that I enrolled in this program. Nick is very helpful and patient with his students. Definitely recommend this school!! They also have other programs, like carpentry, h-vac, welding, and much more! Check them out, better than spending a boat load of money at UofL, classes are very cheap compared to other collegesHakuna Matata

I had an excellent edicational experience in the automotive mechanic program. Instructor's are top notch. All the automotive instructors went above and beyond what is required everyday. There knowledge and professionalism will give you a quality education. You just got to put in the time. No matter what your problem is: The instructors will spend the time with you one on one. I truly got the impression that the instructors want you to succeed.Mike Pascal

In my experience, the majority of teachers were very unambitious. The one that had any amount of passion for his subject was extremely bigoted in his opinions and belief – the sort of man that can't compliment one thing without insulting another. One of the professors even went so far as to miscalculate the final grade for the course – this is the same IT teacher that ran a Blackboard jumbled with repeated grade listings and still maintained assignment listings from several years ago. Their test questions were almost entirely ripped from online study guides, but with purposefully altered wordings so as to make it hard to distinguish the question being posed. One would assume an IT professor would be more capable in utilizing technology than that. This is the quality one can expect from ECTC's professors, in my experience. The administrative side of things was much better. Frequently hosted student events, and many of them were very friendly to work with and eager to help. There were a few grumps, but the majority were very genial.Sean Price

This is an amazing school. I am currently taking the Automotive Technology program and I have Mr. Poteet as my instructor. All of the automotive instructors are amazing as well. However, Mr. Poteet has taught me a ton. I went into this semester not knowing a single thing about a car other than it has tires and an engine that makes it drive. Now I know about all of the sensors, how to pull up data on a scan tool and so much more that i just cannot put all into this review. Sadly with all the benefits there is only 1 bad thing i can come up with. That is one of the English teachers, Professor Kennedy. He is very unorganized and just an overall bad indtructor. This minor detail should not outweigh the amazingness of the school. I couldn't ask for more from the instructors. Something I almost forgot was the president of the school. That guy is amazing and knows how to joke around but still get work done. All in all this is an amazing school that I would recommend to anyone looking to start there degree. Like if this was helpful.Nicholas Presley

Based upon Veterans services The college itself is a perfect transition between high school and college or if you are just getting back into school. The veterans service department is one of the worst I have ever had to deal with. I have dealt with them at 2 other universities and never had the issues that I have here. They don’t care about their veterans or helping them succeed. They will tell you to call people they know aren’t in the office (without telling you). They make it as difficult as possible to even speak with someone about their programs. They don’t put out information about veterans events happening on campus until the day of the event. And the coordinators question everything without giving the veteran the benefit of the doubt. The people have job security so their care of the people they are helping is none existent. If I was just the college I was evaluation I would give it 5 stars.eric jarrard

VERY DISRESPECTFUL!!! I tried reaching out multiple times to find out some information about enrollment and Cristy Price, the registrar hung up on me! She was very rude and impatient, and that is NO way to treat a potential student! I was very polite and had a few questions, like every potential student does. I just wanted to make sure my money was going to the right place. I have my answer now! Very horrible for business. I will take my money elsewhere!Destiny Reid

I wish people wouldn't leave reviews about their ambulance experience on the SCHOOL'S PAGE. The school does not control the ambulance division. That's a completely different department. The Grady EMS academy is outstanding and if you know what's good for you then you would go here. The instructors are experienced Paramedics and the hands on experience is like no other. Start your EMS career the right wayRose Brown

The class was easy and straightforward. Everything I needed for my BLS CPR certification was covered and all my questions were answered!Catmom1211

University of Louisville is where I am doing my PhD. I really love what I do and my supervisor, professor Sharp, is a great person both in research and personally. I learnt a lot from him. I am in mechanical engineering school. They have been spending a lot of money recently to renovate all the instruments in the mechanical workshop. For example they added five new 3d printer for students to play with. Also, they bought 5 new micro cnc machines. There is also one faculty member that teach the students how to safely work with these new devices. For the measurement lab, a couple of new instruments have been purchased that are really awesome. Fluid mechanics lab also has new facilities to explore different aspects of the fluid mechanics concepts. Being a lab TA, I can tell for sure that all the ME students are enjoying the new facilities. They have also been hiring top ranked new faculty members. I know some of them, they are from very top universities and can add to the reputation of the ME department. So if you are thinking about joining the engineering group in University of Louisville, do not hesitate to do that. Good luck with your study and have fun.Mohammad Mohaghegh Faghih

The financial aid department is the worst! I'm not certain if it's just "certain" students (everyone knows that certain means black students….well the ones who don't play sports for the school) who this department gives a difficult time or if they just don't know their jobs in that department. They will tell a student that they need 1 thing to complete their file, and once the student returns the paperwork, they will tell them they still need another document. The student will return that document and then be told that they need another. Instead of giving a student a list of everything that they need to complete their file they will have students jumping through hoops, running back and forth to their office and placing holds on the students account as if the student has done something wrong. University of Louisville, if you want to revamp, start with firing everyone in the financial aid department.Memoir Young

Great professors, I can't think of one that I didn't learn a lot from during my years there. Made a lot of great friends. If you have other options, I would encourage you to consider them before this University, though. The administration is corrupt, you won't have to look too far to find out about the scandals of the University. I hate saying it because I had so many fond memories there, but you can get a quality education elsewhere and avoid contributing to the cash-grab by the University upper administration/athletic programs (Google: UofL and prostitution, read up about it for yourself).R. Orwell

This school has been the biggest waste of a year and $40,000 of tuition, room & board, and supplies. If I could give it 0 stars I would and I would highly suggest had anyone planning to attend here rethink their choice. Just because they give you a scholarship does NOT make it worth it. There are plenty of other schools that offer the same degree for a better quality of education. Staff(professors, advisors, financial aid, food service, etc.) are all rude. I wish I was joking. Staff of all types are either blatantly rude or just ignore you when you have concerns/questions. As a freshman having to live on campus(Morrison Hall), Residential Advisors(RA’s) are extremely disconnected and don't keep confidentiality on problems they are suppose to, causing gossip and unnecessary tension. Morrison itself is also filthy. Residents do not clean up after themselves and each floor is always trashed and common areas(such as the basement/kitchen) are constantly having items broken/stolen by other residents. Quiet Hours are a joke and most RAs claim handling situations, “aren’t there job”, leaving assistance unreachable do to staff only being obtainable from Monday-Friday from about 10-4. We have been out of hand soap in 2 dispenses in the shared bathroom for over a month. I WISH I was joking. I wish this was some sick prank. On top of that, the idea of a 6 week class is fine until you have an underprepared professor, or have zero take away from the class itself. Due to the sessions being 6 weeks and have 3, per semester with a week in between it also makes it impossible to transfer after one semester. Since there is a split between session 3, and winter break. Making other university’s semesters start/end about 2 weeks different than Spaldings. Meaning, you would fail up to 2 classes if you decide to transfer mid year. If you are considering starting here as an undergraduate. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE reconsider. Do not waste your time or your money. There are other schools that would be worth the extra hundreds-thousands of dollars. Do not waste your time here.Atomic Axolotl

I applied for a job as a janitor at Spalding university. I am probably overqualified but i really wanted the job because it was within walking distance of my apartment. I tried to go speak with them in person a couple times after applying and was greeted with an extremely rude and unhelpful receptionist who refused to give me any information or help in any way. If you're considering applying here for a job or education I highly recommend you look elsewhere. The campus is comprised of old buildings in the bad part of town and if the rest of the school is anything like the people I interacted with then they do not deserve your time.James Duehring

I applied Oct 17 for admission and was told by admission counselor that Spalding was not a good fit for me and suggested that I go to JCC, before receiving any of my transcripts. After calling several times in hopes of speaking with someone else…I emailed the director of admission who convinced me that Spalding was not discriminating against me due to my race… But it is going on five months and I am still not admitted…I have been told my transcripts was not received, and had to reorder transcripts several times. I have never felt so unwelcomed and discriminated against.Jackie Williams

Just got done with my senior year, teachers are very great with students and students are very friendly to new comers. If you plan to be in sports we’ll be perfectly fine at this school. There is a new nursing program here that just recently started up this school year. I love this school but the teacher made it worth being there.Meredith Kowadla

This used to be an excellent school, nowadays it is dropped a few rugs. But it is the flagship educational institution for junior high. The sports program is very good. Yes, when my kids are old enough they will go to Fairdale High.Elsie Norman

I wish soo Bad that I can go here I'm only about 16 or 20 minutes away but I can't seem to get in there I'm gonna apply next year for a transfer and pray to God I get in..just wish someone who works there could helpDaniel Johnson

These young folks (yes young men) showed up at my elderly parents home in minutes. They were professional and understanding. This time it was just an alarm. But these two young paramedics were exceptional beyond any expectations. Most MD'S in my experience could learn a lot about bedside manners from these two caring individuals. Thank you!!!Joyce Borders
