A nice certification to have. Mine expired decades ago when I stopped EMS work. Wish I still had it, and wish I had the time off from work to take this course. Well worth it for professionals.

Marty McFly or Doc Brown co-teaching the class?

(my smart alec way to tell you to edit the dates)

I actually took the EMT-B class at the local community college, got the certificate and all, and never used the thing. Around here, EMT-B is really just an ambulance driver, and 90% of what I learned in the class, was just a refresher from my days in Boy Scouts. Glad to have the knowledge though.

Wow, $1200 + books!?! Are you an accredited institution eligible for employer tuition assistance? I don't think I paid TCC that much to go from EMT to Paramedic. There must be real value in accelerated classes!

Are there no vollie instructors up there? Around these parts you can't go 20 miles without some vollie squad hosting a class at a fraction of that,- if not outright free. Usually two nights a week for 4 months.
