Just so ya know, PERCOM is fully accredited. They received their full accreditation in July.

ya, that's probably going to be my choice, however Lenoir would be nice as its done in 8 months and it seems like its about 1/6th of the price of percom, which seems almost too good to be true. Im also having a hard time getting ahold of the CEO at my local hospital to set up clinical rotations for percom as well, But I think percom is going to be my final choice I also cant seem to get ahold of anyone at Lenoir community college, just answering machines, I've left a few messages but haven't received any calls back, whereas percom I get an answer within 24 hours everytime.

Give them time. The program administrators are overworked and understaffed so they take foreverrrrrr to get things done on their side.

No I have not and its starting to get me upset cause that paramedic course is not cheap, and I've yet to hear so much as just an email saying hey your books are in the mail or at least saying hey we're busy we're trying to get to you as fast as we can but nothing whatsoever, I payed over a week ago.

FireWA is doing Lenoir community colleges paramedic program, and I think percom's been super busy they were really great with communication last week with me and I've had trouble getting a hold of anyone now, filled all the forms out I need for the clinical site considerations and they keep getting me confused with someone else or saying I need to do more things, I've done all I can do and have done everything they've asked so I'm just waiting, figured im dead set on percom after my I class though and would like to have the clinicals already set up. But we'll see.

I did Lenoir community college's hybrid program. I liked it it is a top notch program in my opinion. It does require alot of personal study and effort, but what doesn't. BTW just passed registry today first time through.

FireWA1 I am very very interested in hearing about your Lenoir experience and reciprocity to WA, where I currently live. It will not let me message you, please message me with a way to talk to you :)

You need five productive posts to send PMs. I believe how that's how they word it. You only need three more!! There's a fair amount of information about Percom here. I believe there's also a thread about Lenoir but I might be wrong.

There are a minimum of 500 clinical hours to be done. I would call them and ask if they have any clinicals in your area or near you. If I remember correctly they have sites in most states. You have to do all your clinicals before the end of the program. you start doing them after your first on site visit. so you will have plenty of time. They will allow some extra time if you have done most of them.
