20 Best Paramedic Programs In Oklahoma City, OK (2022 Updated)

The staff are professional, helpful and add to the overall positive experience while attending this school. I have one major BUT as to why I’m giving 3 stars. In the short time I attended this school for the Cosmetology program, there was a LOT of unnecessary and unprofessional things that happened- regarding the teacher. I don’t usually go on a rant about something or someone, unless it’s called for, in this situation, it’s necessary. I’m very passionate about cosmetology, and education. I knew a bit about cosmetology before I walked into PTC for my first day of school in August. The new teacher that was hired, (Cynthia Atchico) promised us that first day to teach us everything we need to know about cosmetology so we could become not only great hair stylists, but the BEST; doesn’t practice what she preaches. Within the first month, students weren’t coming to class because they felt they weren’t learning, or they would leave mid day for a ‘mental clarity day’ as we called it, stress and anxiety was rising as well, due to conflicting standards from the teacher. Students (including myself) addressed said issues(amongst others that are to remain confidential), SEVERAL times with the principal, and counselor, only to have nothing done about it. I ended up dropping out of the program, after only attending for 2 months. In those 2 months, I lost 20lbs, was stressed out, anxious, and wasn’t myself. I do plan on continuing my education at another school, as soon as I can. I’m writing this to warn others, please do not go to the cosmetology program if you actually want to learn something. Your mental health is more important than your education, and you can find a better school somewhere else! I pray they hire a better teacher ASAP so the students can actually have a good education!Mikenna Long

I have had the pleasure of attending the CNA and CMA flex programs, both very well discussed and detailed. The hands on skills are very job oriented and help with daily work skills in the profession you choose. The hands on skills and clinical training are very helpful with advancing your education which prepares you for your final test. The PTC staff are amazing, friendly and very helpful. I look forward to returning myself to further my education in the near future.Kealy Merritt

We had our Firefighter 1 live burn evaluation at the fire service training center here. I am about 2.5 hours away and it was worth every mile! Jay and all the other instructors are great! They wanna help you learn and if you dont like getting yelled at a little dont come here or dont be in the fire service in general. They dont do it to be mean they do it to help you. Overall great time thanks guys!!Ace Ullrich

My husband and son are here this morning for a written driving test. Everyone here has greeted us, asked us if we need assistance, and has been thoroughly helpful. Even when we walked into the door to a common area, random people greeted us and asked if we needed help. I am extremely pleased and impressed, and I am honestly looking at their course catalog now. I hope my kids have the opportunity to take classes here. And, the campus is truly beautiful.Debra Stiger

I have looked for 20 minutes trying to find information on medication aide class and I couldn't find anything. I called up here and they told me to get online and go here and there to find it. I already did that this is why I called. All I wanted was the price and hours and I still have no idea but she could have just told me on the phone instead of explaining which tabs to click on. I'll just look into a different school.Elle Sgr

Proud graduate, Class of 2019, from the Radiologic Technology program there, and the first and, thus far, only gold medalist at the Postsecondary/Collegiate level from Metro Technology Centers at HOSA-Future Health Professionals' annual International Leadership Conference. I highly recommend Metro Technology Centers to anyone who is looking for a better life, especially in the health care field.amanhas landedhere

Attended a summer conference hosted here, and found the building was pleasantly air-conditioned, not freezing, and the rest-rooms were clean, well supplied, and quite adequate for the large number of attendees. The central conference room had movable partitions that divided it into smaller meeting rooms, and these walls insulated about 90% of the sound. Architecture included pockets of natural light from circular sitting rooms at the ends of several hallways, and outdoor seating areas with thoughtful landscaping. Classrooms on exterior walls had windows with see-through sunshades, blocking the heat but admitting some light quite nicely. Overhead lighting was not harsh white but a softer natural light. Overall, an excellent choice.Denise Klein

My girlfriend took a CNA class here. Should have known better when they claimed no refunds when paying for the class. The Nurse in charge of the class was not helpful at all, two different nurses told her she should be on different videos than the other one said she should be on. Basically they handed her notes and a book and called it a class with zero guidance and nothing but confusion. So of course she quit taking that class and they didn't want to give a refund. If you are thinking of taking this course here save yourself the time and flush 500 bucks down the toiletJeffrey Powell

I took the flextrack CMA class. I must say the teachers pointed out important things to know during all skills tests on the cart. They really worked with me when I didn't understand something quite surely. They guided to me to be a Certified CMA today. Thank you guys.Amy Kitchens

They have/had a contract with a company to train CNAs during covid, they failed to train the class that started on February 14, part was due to weather and part was due to the teacher not really caring if the students learned. Fast forward to test day, that was a joke the hands on equipment was gross and broken. The instructions where being read by someone who spoke broken English. The bladder to the blood pressure cuff was outside the wrap. Of course test taker failed first try. Finally got a retest date, test is on the 19th is all we were told until 4:45pm today the 16th and they scheduled the written test for 6:30am and skills at 9am. We tried to see if it could be started at 7am just so the baby could be taken to daycare they said no and aren't even willing to try to work out a better time. This is by far the WORST school ever. They didn't provide textbook nor work books just gave you tube links for information to be looked up. If you are someone who asks questions or needs help DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!carol wagle

I just completed my CNA training. My instructor Jennifer was fantastic! She was upbeat, positive and very knowledgeable. She made the class feel comfortable and confident. I learned so much great information in class. The website was easy to navigate and contained all the information I needed to pass the exam. The rest of the staff was super friendly and helpful (Thanks Everyone). This was the best learning experience that I have ever had. I am going to get my LPN certification at Mednoc.Gary Freeman

I just recently finished the CNA class here and I loved it! My instructor was very kind, well-educated, and professional. Everyone was very helpful. The facility was clean and well-kept, too. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in taking a medical training class.alyssa cote

Learning a new skill set is hard, but learning a new skill set in a completely new career field is a different kind of difficult, especially when what you are doing can save someones life. Our instructor Kyle Davis was absolutely one of the best teachers I’ve ever had, period. This course being online allowed you to work at your own pace, but having Kyle explain the why, the different scenarios and real life experiences but more so the reason not just the mechanics of what were doing, was so beneficial. He was professional and friendly, he offered constructive criticism and support at exactly the right time. Even during the lunch and learn sessions online he was great. You can tell he enjoys what he does and that he genuinely wants us to learn and grow. He answered all the questions we could think to ask… we asked everything from course work and personal experiences to how to work FISDAP (lol) he was patient and walked us through EVERYTHING! I don’t know what he makes, but he needs a raise! I promise you aren’t paying him enough! Seriously, I was kind of nervous and overwhelmed but I feel so much more prepared for the upcoming exams and this career. Kyle I hope you see this, THANK YOU!April Jackson

Kyle Davis and Joyce Foltz are absolutely wonderful!!! They are so welcoming and make the environment calming and very inviting. ACLS definitely scares me but they eased my fears and helped me through the process! They were highly encouraging and when I questioned myself, they let me know I was on the right track! I would highly recommend them to anyone!!Kendra Cobb

Kyle was awesome. He made it fun and interesting. Probably my all time favorite instructor ever. He stayed on track well keeping the class engaged and I felt adequately prepared for my test after going through the two practice days. He treated everyone with respect and seemed happy to be there and excited to teach.Jonathan Billing

I absolutely love the classes here. It is like a huge family. The professors make you feel welcome and they do all they can to help you succeed. Everybody here is just like a family. Since everybody here has a passion, a lot of people have the same passion. Everybody is nice and they have a high success rate as well. I hope you enjoy francis tuttle as much as me.Harmony J

Staff was very generous and helpful. Took my son to take his driving test and I left my radio on by accident and drained my battery in my car. The nice lady was quick to help, she called maintenance and had a guy come give me a jump. I really appreciated all of them!!Brandan Johnson

Took my daughter to take her learners permit exam and the ladies there were friendly and efficient. I will be returning for certain not only for the service but because my daughter didn't pass. 😉Forgiven one

The teachers treat the adult students like they are kids and the computer repair class is a joke. The teachers will even say that you will be doing most of the learning on your own, then like what is the point of going to the school? I was gotten onto for being late when I was on time. Their clocks ran fast, I was given a tardy even though their time was wrong. When I needed the help the teacher would just get angry and get mad he would have to help. If you want a place that teachers treat you like an adult and treat you like an actual teacher should I would look elsewhere. This was the worst school experience I have had so far.ImEMP VR

This is not a place for anybody with any kind of special needs. They take anyone who has trouble learning or they think is hard to handle and stick them in the custodian class instead of actually trying to help them find a career they want So if you know anyone who has a special kid here or is thinking about taking their special needs kid here please let them know that they will not get treated right heretimburtonfan 1

Went for testing the admin LS was reluctant to take my documentation submitted by State. Her daughter who isn’t employed was shadowing her with all my confidential information in view and once successfully completing exam was provided test results from printer with little ink which made my document illegible and when I asked her about it she stated it would be fine. Not the case at all.Ms. Sutton

HOW do they not have thousands of 5 star reviews? This was a great experience. Lowest price to renew my AHA BLS for the healthcare provider, respectful of your time, prepared fully, and fast. The class was actually fun/funny. I know where I will be renewing my ACLS as well.Marcy Tanner-Garrett

Best place to do BLS/ACLS renewal especially if you work at the ouhsc campus. It is a quick walk and an even quicker drive, good parking, in and out in a timely fashion. Even as an anesthesiologist I learned things from my instructor.Mohsin Pasha

Had a great experience. Instructors are very friendly. Good pace instruction with a few laughs. Will definitely recommend.Debra Hawkins

LOTS OF KRAMER NURSING STUDENTS REGRET COMING HERE. Kramer Nursing School has VERY LOW QUALITY OF EDUCATION. There are lots of INCOMPETENT INSTRUCTORS who do not know the subjects well enough to teach the classes. When students ask questions, they either tell the students the material is in the book or they say they will get back to you with the answers which they never do. Lots of students have to drop and retake courses because of the poor teaching. There are so many students who are VERY UNHAPPY and TRAPPED in the program because transferring to another nursing school means starting nursing school all over. There was a MASS CHEATING SCANDAL in the summer 2013 in Adult Health II course in that half of the class were put on academic probation. When half of the class were caught with academic dishonesty, there were systematic problems with the program. Students resorted to cheating on exams maybe because of the poor teaching. Kramer nursing program should be anyone's last option. If you are on the waiting list for other nursing school, just wait.Kualuwan Kurlawalee

I am extremely unimpressed with this college. While I had a great experience with my private violin instructor, I found the culture at OCU quite distasteful. I can’t speak for every department at the school, but the staff (and deans) at the School of Music are not very helpful and can sometimes be extremely disrespectful. OCU desperately needs to work on improving the experience for students and making them feel more welcome. OCU also gives very lousy financial aid compared to other colleges in the state. Frankly, the quality of the education and the service for students is not worth a tenth of the price. Would not recommend.Micaela “Mack Truck” Shaenys

I attended OCU for 2 major reasons. 1. OCU has an outstanding science curriculum and medical school acceptance rate. 2. OCU is known around the globe for excellence in performing arts. I loved OCU because I was able to continue double bass studies with the amazing Dr. Schimek and to earn a great scientific education at a liberal arts university. I Highly Recommend OCU!austin powers

My Son and I have been up do OCCC many times over 2 months speaking to each department, taking tests, providing income verification, signing form after form. Provided them with 16-17 FASFA approval and 18-19 FASFA approval and have told them from day 1 that the EMT course is what he will be taking, we also provided Fasfa application with OCCC as the school and the Emt being the class. He was approved for 5900. and the cost is something around 2500. I took 2 days off of work using my vacation hours to get this completed. We enrolled him into the course and got his ID and he has a required pre class mid May he must go to for more details on uniforms or material needed for course. I am him mother they have just as much info about me as him due to him living at home still but have emailed my son yesterday a month after enrolling and testing and such and advised him they spoke to director and Fasfa doesn't cover this course!! So I called the Financial Aid office and they refused to speak to me with out my sons authorization are you kidding me but they want me to be responsable and provide income verification for my SON to get inrolled but refuse to speak to me about his FASFA?? So I asked them if it was FASFA or them that decided 2 months later that the course he was taking from day 1 wasn't elegable for FASFA and the lady told me that it was up to FASFA!! So I called Fasfa to confirm this info that OCCC financial aid had advised me and spoke to a young lady that informed me this is grant money and the final decision is up to the school not to FASFA… so I was lied to waisted my vacation hours and time enrolling my son for them to decide after we were in that office 2days speaking to each department and NO ONE COULD TELL US THAT THEN??? This is BS I am a single mom of 3 we got qualified for FASFA for a reason due to low income but Occc want to run us through the ringerMelody Curtis

After several consultations as a transfer student with 60 credits geared towards nursing bachelors and some general education courses I was assured by my unofficial transcripts that I only need 2 more classes for the RN program. The day of classes I was advised that I would need another 2 classes. Completing 8 weeks I was then informed I would need another 2 classes. That’s 6 more classes when advised I only needed 2. My financial aid will not cover all of these additional courses along with the previous accumulated transferred courses. I was SCAMMED. This university SCAMMED me into more courses. I would advise anyone to make sure everything said to be in writing and record all phone conversations so you could report them to the government as a victim like myself. The chemistry course was misleading and my ebooks were delayed past assignment dates and no extra credit given or opportunity to do the assignment once the learning material is actually available. Everyone’s experience is different and mine is unfortunate. At the rate of added courses I think a bachelors is the best move and would have never ever wasted my hard earned money and time away from family for this. I had 3 advisors and each one had something different to say about what is needed. Now the courses I’ve taken is wasted and useless. I shouldn’t have to pay for them.Jay Cop

There processing people could use a brush up. Campus is a little confusing. Records has some really kind people working behind those counter tops. Hats off to that department as well as admissions for all their hard efforts. Gotta commend the disabilities department for their mission to its disabled population there at OCCC for aiding those with challenges to each individual’s needs.Jason Golden

I was here for 1 year from 2016 to 2017. I also worked here as a work study student too. I enjoyed this campus and brings me back memories when I think about it. The classes are easy and it's mostly 2 year associate degree that they offer. Even though it says it's a university it's really not it's a 2 year community College. It used to be a technical school back then and they just changed the name to university. They do have bachelor's degree classes for Registered Nurse R/N and stuffs like that. Their main campus in Stillwater is an actual university. If you are nervous and don't think you can't make it, try this school or any other community colleges for 2 years and see if you wanna go to a university later on. The only class that was hard for me was the English composition 1 class. I think my teacher was Sarah Mcelyea. She is a tough grader. Other than that I like this school and would recommend people to come here.Shone Joseph

*Had a problem with financial aid, a student at the window made the problem worse. *had switched degrees so Venetia was no longer my counselor but in my frustration, that's who I called *was ready to pull out of school and go to a community college closer to my house During my call with Venetia, she addressed all my issues then followed up making sure any promises made during the enrollment process were fulfilled. Venetia made me feel like I was in a place where the staff care about each student's success and are willing to help. President is great carrying person who also was happy to greet me and extend his support in any problems that may arise. I love my new school and the staff car about my success.Chris Clack

At first I was nervous about paying for classes due to my financial aid not being processed but I reached out to my teachers and fellow classmates and someone was able to rely this info over to someone higher up. I got a phone call that they'll be able to help w/ getting books for me some I got one and also my financial aid was processed the week after so I was able to go get my books for class and pay for schooling. I'm really glad someone took time out of their schedule to help me. They didn't have to stay after hours to help me but they did and I'm very thankful that I'm attending a school that really cares. Blessing for the upcoming yrs here!!!!Raquel White (Raqi)

The University of Oklahoma HSC has an excellent research facility. The university has a lot of scientists conducting research in different diseases and development. The scientists are publishing high impact peer review articles every year. The university has a medical center where the doctors are treating patients. Here the doctors are well-trained and very knowledgeable. The OU residency program is famous for doctors.Riaj Mahamud

The receptionist is RUDE!! I called 2 x and both times this woman laughs and hangs up.. I finally get her on the line, doesn't mention the company nor her name ..how unprofessional. I'll never ever! Reach out to these people again. First impression is with the receptionist and I can only imagine how horrible the other employees are.Victoria Faith

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center is a first-class facility. It is World round for the Excellence of his program, and for the quality of its work. If you are thinking about becoming a doctor, if you are sick and need to see a doctor, if there is a research program you wish to be a part of, this is your place.Rick Phillips

I'm terribly disappointed in the class offering for teenagers. My son has participated in multiple kids culinary classes since he was 8 yo or so. I love participating in activities with him and would love to take culinary classes with him. However, since he is 15 he is too young for adult classes, and also now that's he's 15 he is too old for kids classes. We're pretty much stuck with no activities that we can do together and this year he won't be able to take the classes he enjoys so much throughout the fall season bc he's aged out of kid classes. I've been so disappointed with the Votech for the past 2 years regarding this matter. I've had to receive multiple refunds for classes paid for but unable to attend as I won't attend a class for enrichment without my son especially when that is the purpose of enrolling in the class. -Autumn SimmsCrazy Cat

Overall my experience with the school has been pleasant up to the point that the teacher and directors of the pre-K, one of which the director who had actually written me a very very passionate character letter for a custody case explaining the kind of father she evaluated me to be, came to court and lobbied together to get my daughter removed from my custody. The teacher, Taylor Sanders, managed to turn the Director whom had just written me an incredibly powerful character letter, which was actually her idea to do so, against me. I would highly suggest looking for a different educational opportunity for your kiddos rather than using any of the pre-K capabilities available at this vo-tech.Bobby

On my last legs I attempted to use the resources provided here. Only to find myself being discriminated against and treated like a hostile. Was just a Disabled veteran Looking for help and ended up having the cops called even when I was leaving. It seems this 'school' Needs to remind its employees and those that serve the public that, The United states constitution has authority over everyone there. They CHOSE those roles of service and should honor it by following the state and Federal laws that allow them to Operate on American soil. A call will be placed to review Government funding to this location.Tyler Hale

Hey, it's not Harvard, it's not even the University of Southern North Dakota, but it is a college, and you can get a pretty good education here. It's easy to get around, the faculty is friendly, and the student body comes from a variety of places.Rick Phillips

Not a great academic classes in this place I thought 💭! Occc is the slowest an education growing up in the world 🌎 if you guys want to waste time, take the classes and spend life with them . 🤮🤮🤮🤮👺joo juu

Here they have hilarious ESL classes . Not a Great to go to Esl classes 🖕🏿 I don’t know, what the the heck academic school I wasn’t a fan of occc.John Siannn

I did my BLS renewal here and the instructor was funny and straight to the point. She pointed out the most important things to remember when we’re in an actual situation. I feel more confident now that I will be able to do my part if I ever needed to apply the skills that I have learned in this class.M S

I called Muskogee County EMS to transport my 89 year old mother to the hospital in Tulsa. She fell and hurt her leg and could not walk. They were so nice and caring with her. I followed in my car. When we were at the hospital she told me how kind they were. Just want to say thank you.Judith Workman

The medics and advanced emt's are helpful, kind and respectful. I've used them twice in 3 weeks unfortunately and they respect the individual fully.The_Apostolic_Guy

I was being transported to Tulsa at 3 am and these were still and talking just doing a good job keeping me calm. Great job guys!Ronnie Chandler

I have used so as many times The medics really know their business they are very good at observing and doing the correct medical as needed everyone that I have come across Are extremely caring and since this is the only ambulate service in Carter County that is a real big plus I would go with in any timeLois Jones

This is the worst academic program I have ever attended. They do not keep abreast of medical research; It’s difficult for smart individuals to compete in this program. My biggest horror story from my experience at the OU College of Nursing is this: A patient on a psyche unit at VA hospital told me that he was not ready to be discharged from care. I stood toe-to-toe with the residents and told them he did not meet the criteria for discharge. The doctor signing the forms, histrionically waved his pen in the air, and then he dramatically brought its point to the forms, where he checked each box to discharge this man. Less than a week later, this man was back at Veterans Administration Hospital–in a body-bag in the morgue with a self-inflicted gun-shot wound to his head. Nursery school kids have more acumen than OU School of Nursing personnel. Just saying….Deborah Thorwart

All of the OU medical training facilities are world renowned for their excellence and for the dedication of their staff and the quality of students they turn out. If you are thinking about going into nursing, this would be an excellent place for you to go. You will gain all the knowledge and training you need to be a success in your career.Rick Phillips
