EMT and Paramedic Training and Testing Discussions http://www.emt-national-training.com/forum/index.php Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:45:32 -0500 60 http://www.emt-national-training.com/forum/2-Week-EMT-Boot-Camp-t58.html I've been looking for a way to take an EMT Basic course for over a year now.
I'm active duty military and go TDY (out of town) 7-10 days every month without fail.
Naturally every instructor won't let me take their course since I would miss too many hours of class.

I was looking into taking a 2 week boot camp but have heard many negative things. Most comments argue that you really can't learn enough in just 14 days. I completely agree but that has put me back to the drawing board.

Does anyone know of a 1 on 1 type EMT class? Since my schedule won't allow me to take a normal semester I can't figure out a way to get this class under my belt. I need an accredited program so I can utilize my GI Bill.

Any suggestions are welcome.

A friend of mine used this site and he passed on his first try ( about 3 months ago) so when he told me about it I knew I needed to sign up. Taking the online tests really let me focus on the areas that I was having problems with. The tests and rationale were spot on and i dont think I would have passed EVER without this site. I did about 1300 questions over a 1 month period before my exam. I told my instructor about this site and he will be passing the info along to his EMT-I students for his upcoming classes so they pass on the first try too. Thank you, thank you, thank you and good luck to all.

I believe this progression (or regression) will be dangerous for future patient care and will reflect badly on the professionalism of EMTs as well. The liability implications in allowing newly minted EMT's to enter the prehospital care arena (especially in volunteer services) with no certification of their ability to actually perform hands-on patient care is staggering.

State testing was also supposed to provide feedback to training institutions on perceived shortfalls in both didactic and psychomotor realms of learning. With the removal of skills assessments for licensing, only assessment and basic knowledge will be tested. The State says it is relying on training institutions to certify skills however the level of psychomotor training differs from institution to institution depending on the amount of practice time allocated and given and the skill of the instructors.

I would like to solicit comments from this board on this matter...

Thank you]]> Sat, 22 Aug 2009 09:41:11 -0400 http://www.emt-national-training.com/forum/State-Testing-t36.html http://www.emt-national-training.com/forum/-t35.html using the practice tests on the site to test your knowledge and identify areas of weakness you WILL pass it on the first try. It is worth the cost.
