-Thanks for this link. Co-incidentally this was the local community college near Redondo Beach, where I grew up. I may actually do this program! Thanks again [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ive searched off & on for years, high & low... the only program I ever found was at EMSTA in San Diego county, and then it was primarily for Border Patrol Agents with some extra seats... Practically speaking, the answer is indeed "No." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, we've come full circle. Back to the original question; "Is there any AEMT training in California"

Agreed. IMHO the EMT-Paramedic should remain the ALS provider, above all. But that is no reason to hamstring yourself by nerfing the EMT.

Personally, I wouldn't do that. There is a more recognized course ISTM of Palm Springs puts on that gives you EMSA, California POST, and DHS credits. I've taken part in it as a role-player. Meaning I was shot with a lot of sim rounds all afternoon. Calling yourslef a "Tactical-Medic" is a bit of...

Out on a transfer.

Is EMT-T a real cert? I have TECC but it doesn't seem to count for much.

Meh. Progressive learning is just common-sense. If AEMT is "just a mishmash of skills" then it probably needs to be refined, and more well thought-out. California doesn't want to use it because California's rulers are narcissistic tyrants who are also know-it-alls, but I digress. There is no...

Not really. I'm an Executive Protection Agent, and have other vocations and avocations.

Yep. Still stuck in the same mode of frustration I've experienced so many times in life. Coming back to the same self-evident conclusions; conclusions people, simply out of human nature, resist because of the ego's defense against change.

Time to revisit this thread. Despite some interesting ideas on here, and years passing, my opinion hasn't changed. AEMT training should be more prevalent. AEMT's can drop IV's, that's one less thing my partner has to do while juggling swords and torches. It would make a good stepping-stone on...

AEMT discussion cont. Well, after I revert basic this year AEMT cert will be my next goal. I believe in progressive learning. I hope California adopts it, as everything i've read indicates a need/use/advantage of having LALS providers at a fraction of the cost and time of going through full...

AEMT discussion cont. Interesting points. On the state EMS website there is a way to look at AEMT's 'recognized' in California. Most of the active AEMTs are certified in counties that are rural (Far north NorCal, eastern Inland County EMS authority ext). Maybe it's more useful in the rural...

Als emt (emt-a) Sounds logical to me. Well, we should start pushing for it in California. Way more cost effective, not to mention a good stepping-stone for Medic. Not reason not too. Besides EMT/Paramedic riggs should have AEMT's as drivers/assist Paramedic, and BLS units could have an AEMT as...
