10 Best Paramedic Programs In Louisville, KY (2022 Updated)

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

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.

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

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
