Intensive educational experiences do work... under the right conditions. With motivated and highly competent students and instructors that are highly experienced but also master pedagogues intensive courses can produce excellent results. Mr. Perroni, your program is likely successful because your students are highly motivated members of Law Enforcement and already accustomed to the "Academy" style classes.
Accordingly, one of the best (and least known) EMT classes in Massachusetts is taught is less than four weeks, by a Master Instructor (not only with academic training in education, but perhaps the most experienced instructor in the state), to students that are already highly intelligent and motivated. The education is supplemented after with strong Con-Ed and skill reinforcement.
These classes work, but are the exception not the rule.
