New Banner Looks great, nice clean look. Great job guys!

I am pretty sure that cant. Its a different organization service all together. Now if it is an OEMS inspector/state Representative that is different, they can do spot checks. Brandon

Springfield College has a 4 year degree in EMS Administration. I believe it is Business Management integrated with a Paramedic program. Here is the link to Springfield College's Website: http://catalog.spfldcol.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=32&poid=1221&bc=1 Brandon

Look for some volunteer agencies in your area. Most likely they will let you ride as a observer. Also, if you like it and join the agency as a volunteer chances are they may put you through EMT class. Brandon

Congratulations! Good Luck with Medic School.

Two year program for EMT - B is a bit long. You may be looking at a Paramedic class. In order to take a Paramedic class, in most cases, you must already have your EMT-B certification. Depending on the class schedule, an EMT class can last anywhere between 2-6 months.

It depends. You would have to take the Practical Exam again. I know in Connecticut and I would assume the same for Cali, there is a list of practical exam and you would sign up to take the exam. Price is up to who is giving the test. Could be anywhere from 70+ for all the stations.

Any chance you are looking at programs in Connecticut?

I stoped at 70. Where do you go to check your results? Pearson Vue Website or NREMT.org

One thing I forgot to mention. Verbalize everything. Some evaluators will be looking at the sheet and may miss you do something. When you do it verbalize it at the same time. It will also help you get through your station. Brandon

I just took my practical not to long ago. I am also from CT. You will have to retake all of your stations again. Review with your instructor and signup for another exam. You have three attempts to pass your practical. If you don’t pass after the third exam you will have to take a refresher...
