20 Best Paramedic Programs In Bridgeport, CT (2022 Updated)

First and foremost, Norwalk Community College was the first two-year college known since 1960, and they have been serving and assisting students in achieving the school readiness you have always desired but if you have struggled at some point. NCC will assist you in overcoming your obstacles to the point where you feel smart, confident, and accomplished. This college is my top choice because it is affordable, not overcrowded, has a super clean and safe building, and has no historically known hate crime in the area, which is an A+ in today's environment. There is plenty of parking, as well as the best tutoring center, which is a lifeline for students who want to improve their grades or need assistance with the curriculum. NCC carry the highest standard. They have the best tutoring service and professors who are committed to assisting students. All you have to do if you need help navigating any area at NCC is ask. The wonderful staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank you, NCC. Continue to assist students to become the best versions of themselves.🤛🏼👊🏿🤝Laura S

It's a good starting school but extremely disorganized with idiots for employees. Dr Apple or apfel is a complete and total moron. She is so ungodly useless. She is extremely disorganized no wonder all of the students hate her. She wouldn't shake our hands because she said that's how germs are spread. Get rid of this delusional troll! She made an appointment for 12 and then when we got there said it was for 4pm. Um hello!? This school is so DISORGANIZED. If you're willing to put up with complete chaos for two years then go here. This school was better back in the day now it's a hell hole. The librarians are nice and some of the professors and the security officers are really nice but that's about it.Caitlin Campbell

Either believe the previous reviews of 'smelling like poverty and cigarettes', or understand that community college is the last place to find a living, breathing example of the American Dream. On top of that, NCC is the most well-funded community college, the most prestigious, and has the highest share of incredible professors than any other community college in the region. But it won't motivate you to succeed. You have to do that yourself. And if you do not find that drive within yourself in time, do not blame the college for your shortcomings. The opportunities are here and begging for you to take them.Ziggy Saks

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

Excellent experience every time! This is my second time re-certifying with Code One and it's always a very smooth experience. The online portion is great, and most of all the instructors are very knowledgeable. I had Dr. Santina as my skills instructor this time around for both BLS and ACLS. She was very articulate, encouraging, and knowledgeable about everything she was teaching me, and even taught me something I didn't know about the cons of using atropine for bradycardia! Thank you Dr. Santina and Code One for another great learning experience. 🙂Gabrielle Marchant

This is a great program with phenomenal instructors. If you’re thinking of taking an EMT class I would definitely recommend. My main instructor was Brian who had interesting, but also very informative classes, and would make sure that everyone knew what we were learning. All of the other instructors we met during the course were also great. Thank you for this program!!! I learned a lot and had a great time in class.Veronica Gorbenko

The setup is very convenient and it’s done well especially with COVID precautions. The process of certification was very straight forward with the practice dummies and the virtual call. I had Jonathan as the person certifying me, and he was fantastic! He answered any questions that came up and gave good advice for real-world scenarios. I would definitely recommend going through Code One!Norbert

First I would like to thank all the instructors in Code One for teaching me and preparing me for this EMT lifestyle. I am currently working at Empress and I was beyond prepared because of Code One. I'd like to start by saying as like every school they have minor flaws which can simply be fixed but overall there is nothing I wouldn't change because if it wasn't for John constantly telling me it's in the book I would have never opened my book, I would of failed my state exam because everything you need to know is in the book. So John Diaz I thank you for constantly repeating it's in the book, I thank you for always having extra resources when I needed it, I thank you for always drilling in our heads that's going to be on the test just so we can remember it and I thank you for simply teaching me. I'd like to thank Anthony Rivera because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be an EMT right now. There was times I came in wanting to quit. There was plenty of times I was just overly stressed and couldn't handle it but surely he did not give up on me. He would have me come in early or even stay late just to make sure I understood the criteria. So Anthony Rivera thank you for taking the time to help me. Lastly, Code One deserves 10 stars, they actually care for each and every student. They take the time to teach you, you just have to make the effort to want it. They have enough instructors to teach you so you won't ever feel as if you not being taught. You can always call them to help you over the phone when school days are off. You can also buy your equipment , Emt pants and boots for really cheap. There's always parking in the area. There's food in the area. The best EMT schoolkimberly gallipoli

I was apart of the 1st accelerated batch and I must say I was very satisfied with the program. If you want to learn and you’re serious about your education then this is school for you. *** Back story, I did this program in the middle of a pandemic. I lost my job and the last 2k I had to my name I used it to enroll and do the 6wk accelerated course. I was broke but I was determined to finish, pass my state and seek employment. If you’re lazy, immature and have no interest in learning then don’t waste your money because this isn’t a piggy back program. All the instructors were very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Law and Roman are the absolute best with skills, Ed is very knowledgeable as well and he was very helpful in ensuring you understood the material. Will is tough but he’s also quite hands on and willing to help. The owner, Jon is very friendly I’ve gone to his office more than once to seek assistance if I didn’t understand or needed help and he never said no. Always willing to help. Everyone at this institution that I’ve come into contact with I can tell they’re top notch and passionate about EMS. If you need help, ask, they have resources to help. Failure isn’t an option. If you were doubting this school take this as your sign to call, walk in for a visit and sign up. You won’t regret it. Btw I finished at the top of my class with a 96avg. I’m now NYS certified and passed my NREMT.Kacey Witter

Great school. I wasn't doing great and my average was low but they helped me a lot. John Diaz is a great instructor and very understanding, so are Dave Roman, Aaron Law, and Ed Martinez. Show them everything you got and they'll help you a lot. They're tough on the students? Hell yes they are but at the end of the day, everything pays off. If you fail this course, is because you didn't work hard enough. Yet, if you fail it and decide to go back, look at it as an opportunity to get more prepared. The key is to show them you are really trying, do your best, practice and they'll work with you. You'll not get dropped just because, you'll get dropped if your average is low and you're clearly not trying, but even if you're average is low, they'll work with you. Just don't make the mistake and underestimate them, they're very nice people but they'll fail you if you take the course as a joke. Especially John and Dave, they're nice but keep your jokes to yourself because they're all business.Jayden Torres

Mr.miles was a stellar teacher. Not only his versatile teaching style was very helpful in my learning the way he would work with students with language barriers was phenomenal. Not only he would teach you what you need to know he would also learn things from him you can apply to your only life too. You would walk in his class not knowing anything then leave his class feeling like you can take on the world. He was Teacher, Mentor and friend I do not regret coming to Mr. miles class at Training direct.mbjames

I’m very grateful I’ve decided to do my CNA course at Training Direct in Bridgeport. Our teacher, Mr. Miles went above and beyond to explain and to demonstrate all techniques. He made everything look simple, safe, efficient and pleasant. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Thank you Training Direct and super thank you to Mr. Miles!Pátria Do Mundo

Training Direct campus is excellent. I had a great time at BPT campus during my CNA class 2022. Miss Norma is very excellent in advising me on classes I needed to complete my course. Miss Dyana – is a very great instructor. Thanks alot for helping me accomplish my goals.Lauren Palmer

Mediocre staff, but the course was exhausting and very boring. When you start the program you get to meet the owner for the first day, and pretty much after that he is gone or in his office for an hour or two. That will most likely be the only time you'll ever see him. The instructor was also dull, with a slight dark humor. Sitting in one place for 8 hours long hearing someone talk with a monotone voice and with no fun explanations or examples was not gratifying. During the program two fellow classmates dropped the course. I am not sure for what exact reasons but that must mean something. Overall wasn't the best experience and I felt unprepared for the final test. Near the end of the course you'll have to take the computerized test amongst completing six medical stations which include your medical assessment, trauma assessment, airway, cardiac arrest management, and etc you get the point. After successful completion you'll have to do the six stations again with state officials. After that you'll have to take the NREMT exam which is a national exam. This test is much harder then the first. I feel that this program did not prepare me very well for these tests. Considering you have to pay $1500 including the book and your stethoscope. Maybe there is a better place for your EMT endeavors. In other words maybe because being an EMT wasn't for me.Daniel

I decided to take the 4 week online, on-demand course because it was the only fast paced online course near me. I found the instructors and staff to be knowledgeable and personable. They were also flexible. I live 100 miles away from the school and they were able to work with me to make clinical time and ride along time work. I think this type of course works well if you have the time to dedicate to the coursework. I was able to pass the national registry written exam with very little trouble. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in a rapid sequence course and has the time to dedicate to completing the course.John Paul Horn

Awesome experience. Top notch. I completed the 4 week online EMT course right in the midst of the pandemic – ALL of the staff were wonderful and I always felt safe during in-person skills classes. They truly teach the material for you to learn it instead of just regurgitate it at test time. (That being said, they’re also great at teaching you EXACTLY what you need to do to be successful in the state practical). I drove an hour each way for each of my in-person skills classes and would do it again in a heartbeat! I can’t say enough great things about Andy and his entire team.Will Wintermute

This institute has flexible class times to work with almost anyone’s schedule. It also has an amazing staff and instructors who seek to ensure you completely understand both the curriculum and lab skills. I took the phlebotomy program, and I have zero complaints. Monica is amazing; She labors closely with you, so you have a solid comprehension of the steps, techniques and procedures to execute a successful venipuncture for each patient. You have plenty of hands-on time as well in the lab with your classmates and volunteers, which will give you the competency necessary to work in a medical setting. I definitely recommend!Aleah Hansen

By far the worst school I have ever gone to. They train you enough to pass the national registry but not enough to ever find a job in the different fields. The EMT instructor is sexist and rude, doesn’t help students learn, and isn’t understanding to the needs of students. The director is sarcastic and the company in general is only in it for the money. Not a single person that I know who has taken phlebotomy or EKG has ever found a job due to requirements in the area. When asked for more training they ignore you and tell you that you need to pay even more money for the extra training.Chris Attakk

The phlebotomy program through American Professional Educational Services was phenomenal. The classroom information was presented professionally and accurately without any gaps in content. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and relatable. Ample lab time was provided for maximum hands-on skills learning. I was more than prepared for the national exam and was able to secure a job in the phlebotomy field without a delay. I highly recommend APES programs and certification classes.Debra Gosselin

Just want to shout out to the gals who transported me from Backus ER in Plainfield to the main hospital in Norwich for an emergency appendectomy. Y'all were great!!! Not for nothing, you girls gave me a little bit of normalcy in such a crazy situation, and I couldn't appreciate it more! These gals were laid back yet totally professional and made it feel like we were old friends getting together for some taxicab Kareoke! They were super accomodating to the point that I said I'd call them Mubers… Medical Uber… Because they were just that awesome! Totally appreciative of the work you ladies do and everyone should know that you kick butt!Shelby Stephenson

I was transferred from Windham ER to Backus for an admission I found the crew to be very professional, caring and made my transfer comfortable. Thank you Torri and her paramedic partner sorry can’t remember his name. Please let them know I appreciate their serviceRuth Bragg

I went to Housatonic right out of high school. From fall 2012 to winter 2015, I attended. The professors were professional and helpful. I could email or call or see them during their office hours if I needed to speak (I prefer in person). All the professors I had were passionate and knowledgeable. I transferred from the science program to the fine arts program. The school and my advisor were helpful in this transition. (Personally, every process/interaction was quick and easy) It was a great choice for me. I found the fine arts department to be a great group of people. Very dedicated and all successful in their fields. They didn't just become teachers, they had/have careers and are extremely talented. A little quirky, but what artist isn't? They really helped me improve my art and gave me advice on selling my art. Aside from the actual classes, my favorite part was the fantastic cafeteria. Honestly, I still go back! I still wander around downtown sometimes – that's where HCC is. Its not idyllic but its not as tough as the streets of Manhattan. There's a few oddballs but in 2 years of night courses I never felt unsafe. There's good restaurants and a few shops, concerts in the summer. I graduated and transferred to an art college, almost all of my credits transferred. I'm at a smaller college now, to get my BA, and I miss the convenience of being in a downtown area, near a park and print shop, and really miss the cafe !Christine Jones

This place is the worst. I had the worst experience with an advisor who tried to advise me in the lobby of the building. She basically asked me why I was there…. Then tried to advise me to go to every other department so she would have to do the bare minimum??? Security guards at every door, not kind ones either they definitely don't make it a warm and friendly campus. Seems like they're trying to protect themselves from more that just Covid. The financial aid office is a mess, and the enrollment process was ugh…. They basically didn't know how to add my Transcript credit aside from them sort of losing my Transcripts which the head guy admitted, and looked at me asking if I had any unofficial ones on me…?. The 3 stars are for their professors, they were lovely. The school is trash though go to NCC instead especially if you value professionalism and can do advisement.E J

Housatonic community college Is one of the Best Colleges I have attended. Academically, and socially, this college is well rounded. HCC has Great teachers, that honestly want to see their students succeed.i can only tell you this because this was me, a student who was extremely stressed about the material and course work. Enrolling into HCC from a pervious college, I did not have the funds for school. when I applied for a HCC scholarship I was more than fortunate To have Received grant.YES from School. I have totally made the correct choice to attend HCC. I was nervous at first, but it’s the realization Of coming out of your comfort zone, to achieve your goals and aspirations. I am truly blessed and more than thankful to attend Housatonic community college. Thanks for providing me a nice environment, and more important great food from the great chefs in the kitchen!Yessica URENA-almonte

I had a great experience here. Staff went above and beyond to help me. Definitely a big improvement from when I went there 15 years ago. Hopefully they can have a bigger influence on the town of Winsted. Very good, progressive, and influential atmosphere. They truly care and that matters.Nea Restivo

I've been going here for a while and everyone is nice, the classes are excellent, tutors, everything about it is wroth stopping by and taking a look.Michael Vichiola

One of the best times of my life! The teachers and staff are amazing. It is so easy to get along with everyone and the atmosphere is so laid back!STUDIO C DANCE COMPANY

The EMT course held at Comstock in Wilton, CT was such a great class. Instructor Jim Brubaker is AWESOME! I would highly recommend his class. -Graduate of the Spring 2016 classAmber Winski

I could write a book about what colleges do wrong. But I'll save you my whining and talk shop instead— this is a pretty decent and friendly place. There are many passionate, cool and effective teachers who love teaching and their students, even when the system doesn't love either of them. Online classes are a joke and suffer from "old people cannot use technology" disease, making it very easy for cheaters to prosper. They even heavily discourage you from even helping them fix the cheats, when they're absolutely instrumental for your success when the class is taught badly. I highly recommend you take history this way. Teachers for these classes usually rip tests off of specific websites, so… fair's fair, right? It's a shame, too. I love history. I just hate rout memorization. Please just remove history as a class and suggest history resources instead. This isn't suggestion to the college, but to the entire national board who decides what knowledge is or isn't cool. Please please please just make the system better and stop overcomplicating things. You're out of touch, please hand the keys to someone wiser if you can't do it yourself. Anyway, advisors are innocent to the perils of college sequencing. They will tell you to follow your dream, no matter the cost. Whatever you want to do, they will promise you the world. But this is a siren's song. They will not inform you of the logistics which may make you reasonably doubt your path. When I cited money as a reason I went to community college instead of a full four-year university, the admissions person chuckled and said that they got that a lot, in a really clueless way, as if she didn't know why. Yeah, expect that kind of attitude a lot. It's refreshing but dangerous. And what happens when you go to that four year university, end up in a little debt and don't have the life you thought you were building in college? Well… too bad, sucker. We thought you knew enough about what you were doing. Don't blame us for life's rough patches. Don't blame us for not teaching you your internal biases and character flaws and imperfections in how you see the world. Blame yourself. It's not our job to teach you that. Problem is, though, no one teaches that. Highschool sure doesn't. Where do people learn that? I had to teach myself, but not everyone can. Ironically, I'm not speaking from experience. It's just something I've seen happen to too many people, and I think it's disgusting that the system isn't more realistic and helpful from a lifestyle perspective. But, some people would say I'm just being cynical. I sure hope so. 'Cause the way I see it, people's hope in the system is selfish naivete. But, I'm being too dreamy. You can't grade lifestyle advice, so what's the point in teaching it?TOYSIPO2

Clueless advisors, reps and faculty members that don't know how to respond to emails or answer phones. Their 2 year degrees take more than two years because they advise you poorly on scheduling classes. This school tried dropping surprise tuition charges on my account and they tried negating my financial aid because their financial aid rules on the website are vague or they contradict their own rules and the CSCU rules for the whole state. If you send an appeal expect to be waiting weeks on end while playing phone tag or getting no answer, only for your appeal to be denied anyway. Now they've outsourced their admissions phone line to a call center, so I imagine it's only gotten worse. Also, they offer no meal plans and the food is overpriced. Save your money and effort and study somewhere else if you can.A Account

The Electrical Engineering Technology program is ABET accredited, so that's nice. You'll find that most professors are great here. Only had maybe 1 or 2 that weren't that good. I will say that the financial aid office is not very helpful. Seems that whenever I call, somehow no one knows how to help me. I called once for information on getting leftover grant money moved to another semester, as I had done in a previous semester. According to who I talked to, they've never done that… OK. So I asked about paying it out… She said they'd send a check. Well, its been 5 months… Wheres my $8?! I recommend not calling the financial aid office about financial aid… That said, everything else is great and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for an Associates Degree.Cullen Perreault

Have to agree with some of the viewpoints here… On one hand Capital is a college to go to if your just starting out. On the other hand it looks like the college has changed not externally but within. A lot of students coming in now unfortunately are goof-off types that don't want to study, are a bit too *young* in maturity to be at school or are the obnoxious type. When I first came to this school Capital was fine, I was a new student exploring new options and met a few interesting people along the way. Unfortunately, the more classes I took, I ended up running into some cruddy learning environments along the way. If your serious about your college career try to stay away from the early morning classes where all the goof-offs or super young people go with no parental supervision go. Last semester I had the unfortunate experience of having just one student in an English class almost turn it upside down. This chick literally almost took over the entire class environment with 3 or 4 more people that she knew. They sat off in a corner while the other students sat on one side of the room. All the girl ever did was complain about work, make comments about other students, and groan about a baby. This is not the learning environment I want to be in with people too lazy to apply themselves yet have enough energy to be annoying while we're paying for courses. I realize later unfortunately it was just one of 'those' from the local area filling up a slot. These colleges need to start filtering people out like before. It's starting to turn into a lazy-like atmosphere with goof-offs filling up slots where working students could have been. The second is that although the college is international there is some issue here. May be good for international students but not so much for American/Local students who are trying to learn from thick accents. Some courses are so in-depth that the accent makes it a little trickier but not impossible. The third is yea, the high-school like environment. Personally I'd prefer to be around people my own age-group than getting stuck in courses with a bunch of 15 year olds fartin up on a class. There's no place to hang really and outside the college there's a lovely selection of crack-head looking guys and thug-me-be dudes hanging out in the street that got nothing else to do. It's no wonder why people walk in groups around here and for good reason. The college isn't too bad per-say, but the location and some of the local 'inhabitants' is nothing to blink at. I've been at this college for 2 years now and there's so many programs and opportunities that, for some reason, this college doesn't have that the other colleges apparently do or is not getting them out enough.Bettsie Johnson

I received my Associate's Degree from Capital Community College and then went on to get my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the University of Connecticut. My experience at Capital C.C. was phenomenal. The professors were outstanding by being extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and accessible. The facilities were clean and modern. Everything about the school was wonderful. One of the school's attributes which set it apart from most other community colleges and universities is the accessibility to the professors and administration. At other school, it can be very difficult to get academic counseling. Some of the obstacles are that: You have to have an appointment scheduled OR You can only see academic counselors during a certain time of the semester. At Capital Community College – academic counselors are available anytime between like 8:00a – 4:00p (Monday – Friday). No appointment needed. It is amazing! Anytime you have a concern – you can meet with them. Overall, Capital Community College is amazing and I could not be a more proud alumni. Thank you, Capital!Matthew Krieger

First of all coming from Goodwin college to this college is a totally different experience not only do the credits to actually transfer if they’re actually significantly cheaper and an accredited college unlike Goodwin college plus they treat you like a human being And give you all the opportunities to succeed and hope you have a greater and brighter future thank you for making my life a lot easier within the transition of transferring to your college for nursing.Daniel Falvey

A great place to learn about BLS and ALS skills. The protocols are required and rigid to where you can even pass the National Registry Exam.Alex Koronec

This was the beginning of my career. It all started here and I'm grateful I pushed through to grow and still do up to this dayShawn Smith

Alot of FDNY are getting the vaccine. Great Overtime for me. Saw people from my station and people I haven't seen in years.Desiree Sanders

I just graduated from Chanda’s EMT Program and am so grateful that I chose her school over attending any other. She was highly recommended to me by a friend who was extremely successful in retaining the knowledge she brought to his class. Chanda keeps each student accountable and honest. She presents an edgy, yet warm and welcoming class to where I felt everyone understood that they had an equal opportunity to contribute and be a part of her collective team. If you know kindness, you know Chanda. I am extremely impressed with her knowledge of the medical field from her personal experiences with real world cases. If I could retake this course I absolutely would! If you truly want to understand how the human body functions and how to be of service to individuals in need when treatment is required, I would highly recommend you enter her training. As I write this I feel more than confident that if something went wrong with a family member, friend or neighbor at this moment whether it is trauma or a medical issue, that I am more than confident in being able to apply what Chanda has taught me. Best of luck!Edward P

This EMT course was absolutely amazing.  Before it started, I was very concerned that I might not be able to learn the amount of material that was necessary to successfully complete the program. However, from the first day, Chanda did an incredible job explaining it and making every effort to make sure we understood the material. She made herself available for any questions and took additional time out of her busy schedule to hold optional lab classes. If you study and prepare for every class and every test, you will get though it. I am so happy that I chose the summer accelerated course and feel very confident that I had the best preparation possible to be a very capable EMT. I highly recommend it.Allie Brevetti-Bergman

I had a wonderful experience in Chanda’s EMT course. After graduating I feel like I am prepared to work in the field right now. Chanda is an amazing resource for the students. She challenges all students to do their best work and prepares all students to work hard. She has not only taught me about being an EMT, but has made me hold myself to a higher standard than I thought I could. I am very grateful for completing her class, and for meeting her and the fellow students I graduated with. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to become an EMT as I feel the challenge of her course has better prepared me as opposed to taking another EMT course.George Connington

This school is BY FAR, one of the BEST I have ever attended. Some time ago, I was looking to get my Paramedic. Due to my job, the traditional "Brick & Mortar" style schooling wasnt going to work for me. I searched high and low for courses that offered an online learning platform. I stumbled across one to two more in my searches. Here is what I based my criteria on: Cost, flexibility, bang for my buck, pass rate (which no one holds a candle to), ability to gather info on the program, and personality of the staff I spoke with. During my time of research and making the final decision of where I should attend, NMETC was the only one I felt at peace with when it came to handing over a healthy sum of money and my future. Not only did they teach us, but we learned how to rock solid Paramedics! I would have not gotten to where I am at today if it wasnt for this outstanding group of people and instructors! If you are looking to get you EMT or obtain that Paramedic "Golden Glitter Patch", look no further. You will not be disappointed after it is all complete and you look back on your time here. Thank you again to the entire NMETC Family! Hope to see you all again in the near future!Julian Janoviak

It took me some time to actually write a review but I thought this through and think others should as well before paying for the course. I took the hybrid paramedic course and the online portion was somewhat beneficial but also very expensive for what you're getting. The part I was most disappointed with is the leadership and some of the instructors. The in-person portion was taught by a few burned out paramedics who seemed to care about putting down students rather than lift them up. I will say there were a couple instructors who actually seemed to care but overall the program leaves a lot to be desired. If you're willing to pay quite a bit of money for a cert honestly I would look elsewhere even with the convenience of learning from home or at the site. There are plenty of other programs with instructors who will respect you, your time and money.Kyle D

I can’t stay enough about the quality of this program. After completing an EMT course here over the summer I was able to go into testing for my license with confidence that I had been given all the tools to succeed and not only pass the exam but hopefully go on to be a good provider for future patients. The instructors here are the best you’ll find anywhere and go out of their way to make sure that any student who wants to succeed will be able to reach that goal. Joe and Rachel were our two main instructors and they really are what shaped my experience at NMETC so they deserve a shout out for the time and efforts they make to make this program what it is. I can’t think of one negative to say about this program and would recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing a career in EMS.Carli B

If you are considering EMT school, look elsewhere before choosing here. 2 instructors are horrible. Unprofessional, immature grown woman who speak down to students, yelling, eye rolling, bad attitude. That should not be happening in a learning environment. I really don't understand how they got hired as instructors. The school must be short staffed and desperate. Even if they have 30+ years experience they treat people bad. There are great instructors there but these 2 will ruin your entire experience. Just hope you don't get them. I would not let one of my family members attend there. I certainly would not treat one of my students like that or any person for that matter.Rachael Jenness

I did EMT course here i the fall of 2017. An amazing experience that I will never forget. Most of the instructors were very nice and helpful.Afnan Aqdus

A big THANK YOU! to The Seymour Ambulance Association for being so well trained and efficient. Your medical technicians saved my life and have my deepest appreciation for the medical help they gave me on Oct. 21, 2017 when I was having a stroke. Because of the speed in which I was treated, no rehab was needed and there were no side effects from the stroke.Sensible Sandy

I want to thank the Seymour Ambulance personnel and let you know how professional and helpful they were. I had fallen and was unable to get up on my own. They quickly got me up and help fix the situation so there would not have another possible fall.Norma Zenkus
