The course I enrolled in was held at the CARE/FALCK ambulance headquarters on Braden Ct. in Orange, CA. which is a nice facility. Being an individual with minimal background in the field, the course was simple enough to follow. I passed the course and was able take the NREMT exam 2 weeks later. I was able to pass the exam on the first try. If you are thinking about taking an EMT course, I would suggest looking into the Pro-Tech EMT course.

Taking an EMT class is different than any other schooling you will go through, right now I am a college student taking 15 units at Cal State Fullerton. I decided to take the M/W class 6pm-10pm. I didn't know if it was possible for me to do both schools, but I realized you just have to put in the work. Teachers: Brad who was my main teacher gives you the tools and knowledge to pass the class and pass the NREMT if you buy in and have a good attitude about it. You also have a couple of different teachers so they can teach you their viewpoint so you can hear different stories and different techniques for the class or the real world. The teachers will also allow you to stay late ask questions on things you are confused about or even help you map out a future plan to succeed in this career. Pro-Techs main goal: Pro-Tech cares about you passing the NREMT like every school, but they are one of the only schools who care about you being the best EMT you can be. They teach you to not be a wallflower (someone standing around while other people do the work), but they teach you to take initiative and to feel comfortable taking initiative. How to pass the class: I do recommend you putting in a good 3-4 hrs outside of the class studying every week if you take the evening class that I took. I put about 4 hrs every Monday into studying and I average about a 90-95% on every quiz. Pro-Tech vs other companies: Other schools care about their pass rate but they don't state their class retention rate if they fail you before the final of the class. They want you to just brag about how they have a high passing rate while from what I heard the students from other schools go into places like CARE not knowing basic skills. Opportunities to get jobs: Due to Pro-Techs close relation with CARE you have great networking opportunities with CARE ambulance company, and they put investment into making you the best EMT possible. All these other schools care about their pass rate but they don't care about giving you the knowledge and skills to be a successful EMT. What my friends have said at other companies: I have friends who have taken classes from West Coast EMT and they are jealous of what I am learning, how I am learning, and how the teachers care about you. They are also jealous of the overall pricing of the class. Pricing: Pro-tech has no hidden costs, everything you pay for upfront covers everything throughout the class, for example, the book and your uniform. The book also gives you study tools that you can use to study online instead of just reading. Things they can improve: At some points, the class did get a little unorganized and confusing, but they got it right back on track. Sometimes you would have a substitute teacher and you would have to tell them what you were learning but other than that it was an amazing class. Just a heads up: I did show up to the school before my class started, and it is taught at a church, so they are not always there. I just gave Brad a call and he was so nice and helpful, I realized that I picked the right school right then after having bad experiences communicating with other schools in the area.

It even includes a great textbook (with online resources for a year) and polo. Course: There are options. I took the accelerated course, which was 6 weeks, 3-4 days a week. They even offered case-by-case rescheduled days with the other or future classes if needed. Teaching style: Brad, Daniel, and Dawn were always engaging and taught using their relevant experience. They were approachable and able to teach so that students coming from various backgrounds could learn. Networking: The class environment is highly collaborative (useful for the healthcare field). The class was filled with future firefighters, medics, PAs, physicians, and nurses. Prep for EMT skills: Pro Tech paired with Care Ambulence for skills training. Their training officers trained us like their own employees. Skills exam became easy to pass thanks to them! Plus, if you do well in front of them, they may even remember you when they hire 😉 Prep for NREMT cognitive exam: I took the exam 1 week after the class and passed! Note: I actually put effort into the class, skills practice, and hw to really grasp the topics. 5/5 would recommend to friends and family Read Less Kelly W. , | 10/10 recommend Pro-Tech EMT School!

The accelerated course is 8 hours a day, 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The evening course, which I took, is 2 nights a week for 4 hours, for 10 weeks. My advice would be, if you don't already have a good chunk of knowledge in pathophysiology, anatomy, and physiology, w/ some understanding of pharmacology/medical diseases, take the evening course. It's a slower pace (not super slow though), but it's only 4 weeks more than the accelerated course and you'll be a lot less stressed. I had Jerry as my main instructor and Raj for anatomy/pathophysiology and they were both phenomenal teachers. Jerry taught us in a way that really spoke to my way of learning through lots of real world examples & Raj really broke down the pathophysiology of the body in a way that just clicked in my brain! Not only was the course great and so informational, I passed my NREMT on the first try! Their goal really is to help you succeed on your journey from beginning to end, but you gotta put in the work too. They also work with you to help you get hired on to Faulk/CARE if you wanna work as an EMT straight out of your course. That's what they did for me and I'll be starting next week. Best of luck to you!! Read Less Kenyon G. , | Had the most awesome class during this course.

Jerry and Raj were my instructor and I absolutely loved taking this course with them as my instructors. They were the absolute best and very good at teaching. I could not recommend Pro-Tect EMT enough. They want to see you success as an EMT, and willing to do anything in their power to guide you to the right direction. I passed my National Registry the 1st attempt because of them and their teaching style. Pro-tect also partnering with Care Ambulance and their FTO will give you the best training experience ever. I'm sad that the course ended but I am MORE than happy to recommend it to anyone who is interested! Read Less Ryan N. , |
