Didn't mean to exclude...they both have degrees. One is now an admin in EMS and the other is an anatomy professor at a major university. Both are great educators and very informative. Couldn't ask for better.

Our final in the class you is the one you cannot retake. I understand where you're coming from, I'm just saying because we get retakes doesn't necessarily relate to the competency of the class. My instructors are current Medics with over 30 years on the job and make sure to beat everything in...

#1 the grading scale is ridiculous, answer a couple questions wrong and you fail. We take our tests on EMStesting.com and the way the school has their grading set is 94-100% A 87-93% B 80-86% C ..anything less than 80% you have to do a retake. While it may seem like Jr High level...

I may be able to help answer a little. I'm a month away from completing my EMT class. Just had clinicals this weekend and did a good enough job that I was practically offered a job on the spot upon completing my EMT as Patient Tech. Here's the job listing for the hospital. Job Information...
