4 Best Paramedic Programs In Greenville, SC (2022 Updated)

PLEASE READ REVIEW ITS LONG BUT WORTH IT! Where can I begin ? I started off with the admissions counselor Kathy, I told her I was interested in the LPN, RN or Medical Assistant program . She followed up in the beginning which was great. I came and took my TEAS test for LPN then I took English and math for medical assistant. I could barely make a decision because it’s like she is trained like a salesman to quickly make you make a decision instead of following up with her . I quickly decided medical assistant . I went over the details with my parents like I told her and the next day she was leaving multiple voice messages and calling me from different numbers about financial aid . Long story short I explained to her that I was getting frustrated after a WEEK having 10 VOICEMAILS AND 20 missed calls from her about my FINANCIAL AID . I put that in bold because they are seriously only about the money . After I told her my parents and I were still looking over it she threatens to cancel my application and I wasn’t ready for school and HANGS UP the phone on me . I called her back multiple times and she did not answer then started ignoring it after the first ring straight to voicemail. The director of admissions Michael Baker called me back and claimed it was an “internet issue” and she “tried” to call me back . Funny all of a sudden I didn’t receive not one voicemail or multiple calls like how Kathy called about the money . He was very rude and unprofessional about the issue . Mr. Baker made it seem as if Kathy did not do anything wrong and it was a “internet issue” . I am beyond frustrated I would NOT RECOMMEND this school to anyone . And I have told my coworkers that I work with at the hospital and they will definitely NOT attend this school after what happened . All due to the unprofessionalism of Michael Baker and Kathy.Marlena Sweeney

The University itself is awesome, the instructors go out of their way to help you meet your goals in order to graduate and be successful. However once you graduate the career recruiter is suppose to help you get into a career of your major. Needless to say I graduated a year in half ago, and yet still unemployed. The career recruiter does absolutely nothing to help you get a job; most of the time doesn’t even return your calls. Once you go over their head to get results the career recruiter will email you a few job links but other than that, that’s about it. I completely understand the economy isn’t in the best conditions but most of the people who are receiving jobs it’s because they know someone directly or have a connection on the inside. I don’t feel the career recruiter is really helping by emailing a few job links. This only allows you to get lost in the flooded resume pile that the companies are already receiving. The whole point of having a recruiter is to basically cut out the middle man, and help you get noticed. That kind of service hasn’t been provided to me or any other students I graduated with. Some of my former classmates are working now (because of the jobs they found own their own), but was forced to take any job that could get. Unfortunately most are making the same or even less than what they was earning before they even received their degrees. When considering going back to college make sure you do your research on EVERYTHING, and not just the academics program. The academics are great, but once you’re finished your own your own, which is sad because the university got paid well for my education. Overall I rate the university at a 4. I loved the university as well as the instructors but the after experience not so well.M. Freeman

My husband graduated from ECPI in December of 2017 and was allowed to walk in the graduation ceremony in June 2018. They've yet to give him his degree certificate and it's been 2 years now since he's walked. He's a veteran and used the GI Bill to pay for his schooling at ECPI. The money was only exchanged from the hands of the VA to ECPI; therefore, we never received a penny of it. We're now getting phone calls from collection agencies stating that he owes for part of his schooling which wouldn't be correct because he 1. Graduated full and 2. Was allowed to walk in the ceremony which they don't allow if certain criteria isn't met just like most colleges/universitys. With this being said, we've contacted the financial advisors at the Greenville location and even contacted the President of the college and have received zero help from them. This is making me feel like this is an ITT Tech situation to where they take their students money and never give them an actual valid degree. But oh boy, did ECPI make sure that they contacted every local news site to share my husbands story of supporting her through college while he went into the army instead. ECPI had them show up to the graduation ceremony and made sure to get their name out in the local newspapers/tv stations. We feel as though they're used him for marketing purposes and now haven't fulfilled their end of the deal by just sending him his degree which he earned. I wouldn't recommend this institution to any veteran for the chance they may do the same to you because he's not the only one from his graduating class this has happened to.Kayla Hill

Greenville EMS services are trying to collect on 2 debts one from 05 one from 06 on a person that is disabled . They never sent her a bill now they have levied her check for 25 percent of her check until the balance is paid in full. They levied her check without going to court or without proper paper work, talk about communisum, I thought this was the USA apparently I was wrong GREENVILLE COUNTY EMS is a bunch of CROOKS they will F_ _ _ you any way they can. The person has 2 different insurance that they did'nt even file. What kind of AMBULANCE SERVICE are we dealing with here in Greenville,SC. People of Greenville,SC it's time to put a stop to getting ripped off. Put a stop to this crookedness, this is not right. GREENVILLE COUTY EMS Services ARE CROOKS CROOKS CROOKSEdward Dixson

Screw them they charged me for 6 year old ride that I didn't want to take and didn't ask me if I wanted to make payments or anything just got what they wanted. I think you fat owners need to quit taking people's money Lord knows you could skip a meal. I will never ever take a ride in your $5500 taxi again. I left the same day from hospital. I would pay a stranger $100 to take me to the hospital instead of them.VIDACON CONTRACTING

The 2 gentleman who came to our home when my Mother-in-Law passed were as professional, kind, gentle, and caring as First Responders can be. They helped us through the first few hours in a comforting way. We are deeply indebted to them for their kindness and caring. I fully intend to let the powers that be know about these 2 wonderful gentlemen.Chris Lockhart

Most interesting class I had the privilege of attending. I am very fortunate to have my Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician certification due to this class and my Instructor, J.T. Thackston, NRP. Upstate EMS Council and the Instructors prepared me for the NREMT Exam, and also for the hands on practical application skills tests that are required to pass the EMT course. Very good information and outstanding performance by the Instructors and Upstate EMS Council. 5 stars. *****Chuck McCall

Very well-rounded education. I would say the user complaining about this place failed one or more of his practicals. Best Medic instructor, has only his students in mind.Jonathan Bailey
