4 Best Paramedic Programs In Seattle, WA (2022 Updated)

I feel like I’m getting scammed. I’m retaking this class first time was because my previous teacher didn’t grade most of my work that I summited direct to her with all paperwork and it was totally mess like nothing’s ever organized and dated correctly and she got fired so other instructors had to take over and still didn’t care about my assignment so i had no choice but failing. And when i retook it for second time with same class due to her personal reason it was mostly online or self taught with ppt she posted on blackboard. I only got to be in classroom 3 times. my new instructor won’t grade my quiz so i had to email her and advisor but non of them gave me any updates nor response so I guess they just want me to retake it over and over again until they can do their job. It’s large amounts of money they required too so I’m wasting my time and money and it just seems like they’re scamming me. Whenever my friends or people around me asking about this school I never recommend. Because no one need to deal with this mess. And they honestly killed my passion to be on veterinary field.Eunsu Choi

We've hosted students from the programs over the years and they come in with little clinical experience. They're not prepared to work with patients out of school at all. Up until recently our team was okay spending hours in training (while the school gets paid the tuition fee, we get nothing) hoping to keep the student on long-term. We got stood up. A promise was made to stay on and then no communication, no reply. The school should teach honesty, integrity and professionalism as part of the curriculum.Ilona F

I graduated from the medical assistant program and the teachers were all amazing and seem to truly care about their student’s success and wellbeing, especially Mojda! My only downside is that I did struggle with some of the administrative staff having poor communication and being disorganized. I definitely had to advocate for myself. Other than that, wonderful experience.Abby Heck

Had my BLS class cancelled twice with no advanced notification two weekends in a row. First class was emailed 5 minutes after class start time instructor had a personal emergency and class was cancelled. I was rescheduled to the next weekend. At this next class waited over 30 minutes before was informed by another student the instructor tested positive for COVID and class was cancelled again. I understand emergencies happen and I hope the instructors are alright but I was disappointed by the lack of communication by the center and no back up plans/instructors or protocols in case of last minutes emergencies. I do not recommend going here if you need any training. Was recommended another company to complete my BLS training by my healthcare coworkers and friends.April

Just finished my ACLS and BLS recert courses here at the Seattle classroom. They are doing classes with social distancing in mind and it was a huge relief to be able to knock this out in one day. The instructor was great. No fluff, just making sure you know what you need to. Highly recommend this company. This was more convenient and a better experience than going through my employer even though I had to pay, so that should say something.Leanne Tarr

I've been doing renewals at Cascade for the last several years. They have the best instructors. They are all very experienced, and have excellent knowledge of the material and understanding of underlying pathology and do a great job with teaching. It makes classes really fun, in addition to very practical and helpful. Love it, I'll keep going in the years to come.Rachael Schuessler

I took classes here on a partime basis from 2016-2020. I already had a degree, but was attempting to get into a post-bac nursing program. I truly had a wonderful time here. The anatomy + physiology course series has access to actual human cadavers. I did more dissection and lab work here than I did in my undergraduate time. I really liked the microbiology course (which I had to take entirely online due to the beginning of the pandemic) and I loved all the application projects the teacher had throughout the course. It prepared me really well for the rigors of nursing school. The teachers were available, respectful, and straightforward with their expectations. I had a lot of challenges in that I worked full time while taking these courses. I found the teachers to be mindful of this, while maintaining the integrity of their classes. Ultimately though, you need to be ready for the reality of working full time while taking these courses. The SCC system has to maintain rigor to prepare people to transfer on. If I could go back to high school, knowing what I know about NSC now, I never would have gone to a four year private university first (and saved myself about 40k in loans in the process) because the academics are just as good. The campus and community are wonderful too. I got accepted to Duke University's ABSN program, and graduated from that program this month (May 2022), so I say with first hand experience that the NSC coursework holds its weight to other 4 year universities when completing prerequisites.Courtney Lee Garay

I been blocked to register! I got covid in December and had to drop. I was fighting for my life and now have long covid. Even my Drs tried to help me to get back to school. I jumped through many hurdles to get renrolled nothing i did helps. I applied for permanent disability due to the pandemic nothing has been done by the financial aid office. Applied for CARES fund but can't qualify if I'm not current student. I turned in all my paperwork contacted Trio and even LSAMP reached out to me to help me they are not willing to budge. Plus the enrollment process is next to impossible to jump through. This College has lost half of its enrollment due to their own faulty system. Even my daughter who has scholarship Seattle Promise couldn't jump through their faulty system. A students right to equal education while in a global pandemic should be top priority don't punish us for getting covid and unable to attend.Alexandra James

The teachers and classes are great. Most services are excellent, what keeps this a 3 star is the financial aid office cancelling my (already accepted) awards a mere two days before the start of the quarter and not saying a single word to me edge wise. It’s really not fun to find out you have a 1250$ bill due days ago and not have even been sent an email. I appreciate the employees in the FA office and they put a hold on my classes so they wouldn’t get dropped, but the office NEEDS to create a policy that ensures students are given appropriate notice of changes to their FA. I had already enrolled and bought my books and had absolutely no idea that my aid was canceled.Michael Duder
