FDNY EMS Candidates

[SIEMTB]

I know 5003 left off somewhere in the 1400's. Does any one know how many in total on that list? From past history I see they go through about 300-500 people to make one class. So I'm thinking that guys on 6003 up to the 200's might have a realistic chance at October? And from what I understand once your jobs are notified you can expect to be in the next class? Am I on the mark here at all?

I would agree. My investigator called me and told me she notified my jobs to send back feedback on my work or something along the lines of that. I'm list number 13X on 6003

Are we allowed to miss any days of the EMS academy? I'm just worried that I may have an interview during that time period and what if I need one day off?

Dude. Don't miss any days it's that simple. You're allowed to miss up to 4 sessions (2 days) but you need to make up everything you missed on your own time... If you're worried about holding down two jobs. Don't.... I tried working my retail job at spencers as a supervisor and the academy. **** does not work. Focus on the academy and worry about a second job after

Thanks for the info! It would be a fire department interview if I did have to miss a day.

Hey bro. Same here. I forgot to ask my investigator if she would expect us in the next class. Did you have a chance to ask yours when she called?

Anyone have experience with getting a 'proposal of disqualification'. Got one for 'failing to report to medical', but I never received a medical letter so I followed the instructions to email requesting reconsideration. Do they give you the benefit of the doubt on these things or are they one strike and you're out?

So this is for you guys in the academy right now: are you currently under a "provisional" appointment to EMT? Or is it a permanent appointment on your first day when you swear in at HQ?

Same thing happened to me. Call CID and explain what happened. They should give you an email address to contact and then you explain it in writing. Then you should be approved for a new medical.

Hello everyone...Can anyone here please explain the process of getting into FDNY EMS...I took Exam 7000 on July 7th but haven't received any letters in the mail or phone calls.
How long does it take to get a List number?
Do they mail you that information or should I expect to receive a phone call?

You'll receive your number by mail in about 5 months.

Keep checking. Remember your looking for Emergency Medical Specialist - EMT. Not the trainee one that opens up soon

Is it possible that they are renaming it (the exam) as trainee? I've never seen trainee before until this one.

I don't think so to be honest. If that was the case they would have done it with the last one as well. Just be sure to read the letter that comes with that exam for the info.

Depending on your experience will be your list number. If you're fresh out of EMT class or have no experience in the 3 years you've had your card you're given a passing grade just for being an EMT. Now if you have experience, your score gets bumped up.... Now!!!! Depending on your list number, is dependent on how long of a wait you have to getting into the academy. All of us in PES 16-03 have waited two years for our time in the academy (Sept 2014 is when we filed) it is a relatively quick process if you can find things to do in between. Just be patient and you'll be in before you know it the way they breezed through 5003 after Transcare

Thanks man. I can't think of anything else it would be. Who knows, just gotta wait and see.

Just read before paying anything. Trust me. Use this time to get yourself in shape. Start running a mile a day, planking squats pushups and sit ups. A majority of our excercises so far are core and cardio

Thanks for the info☺.....I've been a PCT for 19 years and passed my NYS EMT state certification this past April so I am brand new to this field of work.

Heard they are re-opening the promo in October.

No problem. Just remember. Use the time you wait to train your cardio endurance and core endurance and you'll be fine. Oh and if you're obese, start dieting now before you get to your medical, one of my friends had to lose 40 lbs in a month, it's doable but the biggest pain in the ***

What is your list # acoustony? I'm 250 and have not received any calls from my investigator relating to that. Do all investigators make this call notifying you that your employers will be questioned on your performance? I know my investigator doesn't seem to be the kind of guy to ever call me unless I am missing something lol.
