FDNY EMS Candidates

[Def26]

You will ALWAYS hear different things coming from investigators down at Metrotech. Perhaps to fend off the same questions they get asked and ease some people.
What you can trust on being spot on and accurate is that piece of paper you get in the mail telling you otherwise, and when to report.
So if it is not in writing, take it with a grain of salt.
Good luck

I get what you’re saying and at the same time I’ll also take what you’re saying with a grain of salt as well. Only because i have someone who heard 2 instructors tell their class about it, there’s 2 people here who said their investigators told them, and i have a friend on the job already who’s lieutenant said it as well. And also the classes would be 90 and 90. So it would be the same amount of people as if there was just a full class of 180 so that doesn’t make sense that there would be not enough instructors. But we’ll really all just have to see once May 21st comes.

Again a grain of salt on all of them. Only thing that is set in stone is that letter you get telling you when to report. Hear say is just that.

Has anyone ever participated/Taken an (EVOC) and if so how challenging was it for YOU, How was the experience?
I was searching to see if I could pay for practice for the meantime. I barely drive now so I want plenty of practice to ensure that i am successful passing the course. Any info and insight is truly appreciated

I also spoke with my investigator this pass Friday, and was advised that June 11th will consist of EMT TRAINEES as well as EMT's. Also there will be another academy class in October. If anyone here is from Exam #7014 (Emergency Medical Specialist Trainee) and any other EMT Exam please keep this forum updated upon being offered a position, Thank you in advanced and best wishes to everyone

I sure will, I’m from exam 7000 list #97x , I should receive a call next week if this is true! Good luck!!

You'll get opportunities to get extra practice before or after your tour (depending on if you are 2 or 3). Don't worry, I know a few people that had little driving experience and passed, and even one or two that failed and had to report to REVOC after graduation to complete the course. It won't stop you from being hired. They will teach you until you get it down. Don't stress!

I personally think they will have us sort of together but at times split us up because EMT's are already certified they don't necessarily need the same studying the trainees need. TRAINEES studies should consist of more intense work to obtain the certificates the EMT's already posses. I believe we will be physically training together. ( That's just my observation though)

I’m an EMT, the training should be the same because we still have to take the same test to recertify.

There are three FDNY classes going in in June; fire, emt and non-cert emts. The EMT class was added to replenish numbers. Good luck to everyone that gets the call!

 

[Dillion83]

My investigator also said that they pushed up the class for EMTs because they didn’t get enough for the trainee program. If it is not true my feelings won’t be hurt nor will I be disappointed. I was told October originally anyway.

 

[Def26]

It’s true. Spoke to my investigator today. They start calling next week. Good luck to everyone!

Is it gunna be a full 180 class of EMTS, or do you not know?

That’s wonderful to know, Thanks for the insight

Hey Guys been told I’m “under review” was told it’s not a bad thing, been done with my process since the fall wondering what your thoughts on me getting into the June class is?
Also a buddy of mine went for a physical last week and DI’s said there will be an EMT June class just to help provide further evidence.

I’m not 100% sure, but I believe you being under review right before the academy is expected. I think they review your file to make sure you’re good to go for the class.

I am under review as well for something minor. My investigator told me ways to fix it and if you want to be eligible for June do what needs to be done before May 21st since they start calling then.

Your paperwork was submitted by your investigator and under review by the boss who Makes the calls ? Or you are under review because of something else

I'm under review by the boss but my investigator goes back and forth with the boss when I have questions concerning that. But they gave me the ultimate decision on what I should do. He says that if people have minor issues and they fix it in time they can become eligible thats why he was telling me the last day to submit documents is this week. Mine is quite minor and I could have everything ready for June but I want to go to the October academy.

Gotcha because from my knowledge when they submit your paperwork being under review is the boss just checking over everything before the calls
Go out
