17 Best Paramedic Programs In New Orleans, LA (2022 Updated)

I really enjoy attending Herzing University I feel the right choice of choosing this school. My classes are great and so are the Professors. There are lots of resources to get through your classes and the Professors are super helpful.Jennifer Byous

Herzing University helped me to realize my dream of practicing as a family nurse practitioner. With engaging faculty and intellectually stimulating courses, it's no wonder students are successful! Go Herzing!Jessica Manchester

The amount of material we covered was tailored to the students needs, not rushed, and ensures comprehension. I was totally impressed with my instructor's experience as well as her ability to break the course down in an entry level language. So glad I decided to take this EMT course!Keith Williams

I had to get a cpr certification for my school program and I’m so glad I picked this instructor! The place was set up well. Also the instructor was beyond amazing! She was super nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this place if it provides the certification you need!Brittney Hammell

I really felt confident coming in when taking the BLS class here. The instructor made sure to answer all our questions and made sure we were comfortable with all the information.Harry Dorado

This is a great school to attend. While they may not offer as many programs as some of the larger community colleges, they still offer a lot. And all the classes I ever took there were small in size and taught by excellent professors.Nobody

I came for a celebration of the Battle of New Orleans where there were lectures about the battle here. Everything was clean and friendly. Great time! Plenty of parking.Andrea F

the best school ever! very helpful stuff and great teachers! I came back from Delgado because in Nunez everyone wants you to be successful!Iryna Zaitseva

I'm leaving a neutral star review as I have not used their services, but if they treat patients as reckless as they drive, I'll refuse services through them. Was coming down 28 West today headed for work when Unit 2 pulled out into oncoming traffic, and as I attempted to switch to the fast lane to go around them, they switched lanes without use of turn signal in front of me and proceeded to drive fifteen miles under the limit through Air Base until they turned onto Hwy 1 and I was able to go around them. As a former EMT, I can understand cautious driving with speed limits, but pulling out into oncoming traffic and failure to use turn signals is just blatant disregard for the safety of others, especially outside of transport.Chad McGlothlin

Received my shots here and everyone was friendly and professional. They stayed on schedule and task while providing excellent customer service. Thank you to looking out for the first responders!Raymond Hamilton

Never do business with this company. They do not care about the elderly. Med express why would an elderly, disabled lady outside at the wrong house for over 2 hours?Janet Washington

Reading all the comments only tell half the story. I've read about bad dorms. Well didn't Howard university just have it's students sleeping outside due to rat infestation and mold? Does spelman have a/c in most of it's dorms yet? Nope not at all. I've read about the school being about money and that financial aid was not very professional. What hbcu isn't? Most all hbcu's biggest gripe is the financial aid office. That's the reason a lot of people transfer to pwis is because of the financial aid process. A lot of the views presented here are misleading to potential applicants. It shine a negative light on Xavier, for the very same issues most hbcu's are facing. That being said. What education did you get? And was the education worth it in the end is what we really need to knowAnthony Hector

I remember this being the first college I attended. I was the first in my family to go to college so I wasn’t aware of much , but there was staff to help us… Well , this man helped me and we were on a website and he was just telling me everything to click and what to “approve” . Come to find out this man made me accept about 10K in student loans, but for only 1 semester!!! ,Unfortunately this money did not even go toward my classes but to the freshman dorm I lived in ( very dirty ) . I wish he would of explained more to me . I didn’t find out until being at the school for a little while & checking my credit karma .Queenqueen Queen

Xavier University of Louisiana is one of the rapidly growing HBCU institutions. Known for its excellent tract record for producing medical field specialists, especially pharmacists, it is a place where every student willing to seek frequent interactions in class can grow immensely professionally and socially as a contributing model citizen.Isaac Belonga

It was such an awesome experience taking EMT-B with this organization! I am currently taking EMT Advanced with them. Will continue to keep up my certifications through ARES.Matthew Wade

the staff is so ridiculously incompetent. the advisors never answer emails, sometimes ill send an email and wait a week for a response and never get one, so ill send another email, and another, and another, and finally get a response that most of the time doesnt even answer the full question being asked. different staff members will also tell you conflicting information, leaving you confused on what you’re supposed to do. you can never get ahold of anyone to help you. my boyfriend went here as well and was given the wrong schedule of classes which ended with him needing to attend an extra semester to take the class he actually needed. also they practically have new advisors for each major every year, and they never tell you when your advisor has changed or even update the website, so you just have to email the old one 40 times before they finally answer and tell you who you’re supposed to be emailing. if you dont like being stressed and confused all the time i recommend u just go somewhere else!Mia Carbo (Meyuh)

I have been a student here for 2 years and I have no idea how they have any students. No matter how early you submit financial aid they process at the last minute. At least twice I have had to contact the department of education to explain changes on my student aid that they could not justify or explain. As of today it has been 1 solid month trying to get someone on the phone to ask questions about my financial aid which has been submitted 2 months ago but still not processed. When you do manage to get someone on the phone they are rude and often give conflicting information from one department to the next. The excuse is always that they are swamped with calls, which to me is an invalid excuse! If that many calls coming in they should use the money collected from tuition to hire more people to answer the call of the students paying their salary.This will be my last semester at this school! Completely unacceptable!Stacy Harris

Their financial aid office is absolutely HORRIBLE! I was first approved for aid that I apparently don't qualify for. Once approved, it later disappeared, and I was never notified that I wasn't qualified for it. After learning my classes weren't secured, I only was able to get in touch with the financial aid office through their live chat online, and I'd been trying to get in touch via email and phone for days beforehand. They do not answer phone calls or emails, which I find extremely unprofessional. After finally getting in touch with them, I learn I qualify for a different financial aid package, approve it, then it disappears again. Turns out, Im not qualified for that either and was again never notified. If you have to deal with their financial aid office, good luck!A H

Here is where the MAGIC happens. The best & brightest are trained for all things medical. Big brains come together to learn & fostering an environment that is conducive to learning & advancing the future via medical technologies. My mother worked here & as a child, I roamed the halls being a lookey-lu & even now, I am astounded by the advances of medicine & the medical community. I love the LSUHSC Community at large as they get it & understand the major undertaking of the health & well being of the Greater New Orleans Area; what a some what daunting yet accomplishable task. Love the campus expansion & I think it makes for a more comfortable & welcoming environment for students & staff alike.Teneha B

Brand new building, secure with a security guard. You must wear masks in here. There are Doctor offices and a Quest in there among other services.Michele Jackson

Four years of intellectual stimulation and excellent company in a supportive and lively environment. It was less pricey in my day (the 1966-1970 tuition was $750.00 per semester), but a Tulane degree is still good value. For me, Tulane was a formative experience. I majored in French, and learned valuable skills for later life, including literary criticism, poetry translation, and the French language. I still use my French, now I am retired. I participate in several francophone and francophile organizations in New Orleans. As well, my courses in Theatre and English literature have stood me in good stead. I am now a performance poet, and perform frequently at the Neutral Ground Coffee House and at the Maple Leaf lBar, and other venues in town and in Louisiana.Robert Menuet

Even if you are not interested in attending Tulane University, I strongly recommend visiting it. The tour of the school gives you some knowledge about how the young adults of New Orleans take part in the community and how much of the things you are touring are actually run by students. My family and I were not expecting to actually be considering Tulane for college, but we all fell in love with the campus instantly. The guides were very knowledgable about the school and also about the community of New Orleans. It was nice to hear the perspective of a younger person instead of an adult who grew up in New Orleans about what the best parts of the city are. Touring Tulane is a MUST for anyone visiting New OrleansVictor Hills

Everyone was really good except for Dr Jiang. She was very unprofessional, she need to be more compassionate, understanding, and courteous to the patients' family. I chose not to allow them to put a feeding tube in my father because he is still capable and able to eat, she was very unhappy with my decision and retaliated with an unpleasant attitude and refused transportation. I had to go talk to security and and then speak with the nurse to get transportation to come and take my dad down to the car. One bad apple can spoil everything. Some doctors should not be doctors and need a new profession.Carla B

If you don't already have a job with Acadian Ambulance you will just be wasting your time and money attending this school.jdl

Oh me oh my!!!!!! If you REALLY know me, then you know writing this is like a hot knife going thru butter… EASY PEASY!!!!!! I love ALLLL THINGS MEDICAL and this is NO exception!!!!! Located under the Claiborne Overpass at Earhart & Claiborne Avenue; this location is fairly new on the radar & this I know to be true, see the previous statement; lol. Liz Belcher, John Fourcade & Sarah Babcock; are excellent in all they do here. I know there are others, but these are the folks I've had the pleasure of interacting/working with. Here is the haven, the place where all New Orleans EMS units live. Here is the place where the very well trained and capable EMS employees check in and out for work. This is where the magic happens. Here is the place where these selfless, hardworking, compassionate, SEVERLY UNDERPAID folks get their marching orders to keep alive/extend the life of the injured/hurt people of the City of New Orleans if they've been involved in trauma or have a medical emergency. The building is nicely designed with classrooms, office space & other assembly areas & a nice spacious kitchen area. Outside in the parking lot, you will find the ambulance units parked & ready for service. Each equipped with devices & medicines used for life saving measures. I see that each unit is inspected & restocked prior to each shift; this is way cool as you're able to ensure that your unit is ready for service. Great place, Great folks, Kudos for all that you folks do to keep the City & Her Citizens ALIVE. ARRIVE ALIVE; this is the mantra!!! Side note: Next door to the EMS area is the Coroner's office & during my visit this area was locked like Fort Knox; I'll have to visit another day for a tour of this facility. **************************** Updated Review Above ********************** Great place for CPR training and a hub for "ALL THINGS EMS" in the city!!!!!!Teneha B

Free car seat safety checks and installation every Friday by certified technicians. They also teach how to properly install the seat yourself and correctly secure your child. If you're in need of an appropriate seat for your little bundle, they can arrange that too. Well trained and competent pre hospital emergency health care providers for the citizens of New Orleans also begin and end their shifts here, receive pertinent training and continuing education, hunker down during states of emergency, and congregate and debrief with their coworkers at the end of their shifts.Nicholas Bradley

I took this photo as a patron of Woldenberg Park on July 4th, 2017, right before the firework show. I can't tell you who these two are but they look ready to save lives, and I wanted to extend a thank you to all the hours you put in.Josh Mitchell

This is by far the worst school in general you could ever study at. There is a lot of things they don't ever mention to you. For example did you know their passing rate is only about 20%? That means you have about an 80% chance of completely flunking out of the school. Their teachers will literally admit to you that they dont even know the information they are teaching and if they took the test they would fail. Their advisors are unreachable. Their coordinators never know what is going on especially Salas. The school decided to even change the entire format of a major test 2 days before the students were meant to take it. They just gave the students some obscure packet and told them to look it over before the test and good luck. They legitimately do not care about the students and only want to make people repeat for the money. Please spare yourself and attend any other school.Carlos Gonzalez

The faculty members at this school don't know their head from their posterior lower extremities. This school lines their pockets with thousands of dollars in student fees, compact cram a semester worth of studies into one month, then they squat where they're standing and squirt sneeze it out just for you so they dont have to pay you back. The only thing that is ever maintained here is a false sense of superiority while they come here to collect a check off their bare minimum, McDonald's drive through work ethic all while exploiting people. Completely unprofessional! Ironically, this is in fact where it starts. Welcome to the American Healthcare system.Not Lion (Lioness)

The staff is very rude and unprofessional. Nasty attitudes. Useless. Not helpful at all. First time ever coming here and needed directions where to sign up at and I asked some lady and she said “look for it yourself.” She was literally sitting at her desk reading a book. PLEASE DO YOUR JOB! Help students that wants to get help! I can’t believe she couldn’t answer a simple question. I wasted my time there. In the beginning I was very interested coming here but after this first time experience and impression I’m never coming back here again.Jessica Moore

My son have been attending GGS for 5 years now. The first year was hard for us only because it was a new school and he is a very shy little boy. His shyness made his teacher👩🏽‍🏫 pay attention to him very closely. What his teacher learned by watching him with close eyes, is that my son lacked confidence in himself when learning. This very action lead him to make very low grade. His teacher was so concerned that she wanted a deeper evaluation on his learning abilities. Therefore, we got the result from his evaluations and we learned that my son had mild dyslexia. From then his teacher and myself worked very hard with my son and with the help of other staffs members with special programs GGS had to offer him. Since that first year my son gained confidence and the grades that came with it also. He have been on the A,B honor rolls for the past 5 years now. MY SON AND I ARE SO DIVINELY BLESSED TO HAVE GGS IN OUR CORNER WITH ACADEMIC 👨‍🏫AND RELIGION🙏🏽 ‼️ WE LOVE OUR GGS "HOME" AND ALL OF THE STAFF MEMBERS. KEEP OUR LORD, INTEGRITY, LOVE, COMPASSION and SAFETY IN OUR KIDS ACADEMIC at GGS NO MATTER WHAT‼️ I THANK GOD FOR GGS AND ITS STAFF MEMBERS EVERYDAY‼️ Sincerely BLESSED with LOVE from GGS Mrs. Shineder WatsonShine D

I agree it is a good school but not in a good location, in the heart of downtown and the time the school lets out. You have office workers getting off at the time they let school out @ 5 pm, also with one lane of travel on Baronne St, just not good.Charlie Lee

I love Good Shepherd My Son attends this school an this is his second year he in the 3rd grade an I am by far impressed with the staff an the well being of there interest in helping the children learn … Very great school by farDeshondra Stevenson

I just wanted to thank Eric Klienpeter for doing a great job again. All of the instructors are always professional and clearly know what they are doing. Not only do we have a good time while at LSU, we learn a ton in the process. Thanks again!Operator Training
