What schools are good choices for EMT courses? I'm thinking about going into firefighting after the military and im trying to take some coures now before I ETS in 1 1/2 years. Are there any online courses that I should look into that would be just as helpful? Thanks

You might be able to get the information learned for the written portion of the test online, but you will still have to take the hands-on practicals and that requires hands-on learning and practice - both for EMT and Firefighter 1, etc.

I'm assuming you're considering full-time EMT/Firefighter, correct?

Best of luck. Let me know if you ever want help studying or anything. I was a volunteer firefighter for a number of years and my wife's an EMT.

EMT is one of this programs which requires hands on testing. If it is online I would not take it. All other academics are fine on line. Pushing IVs and using IEDs, applying bandages etc. requires eyes on. thank you for your service.

I wouldn’t do online. You don’t get the full preparation for the clinicals from online
