Is there really any difference (good or bad) between the courses that an agency (AMR) offers vs. the program that a college offers? I am looking at the program through San Antonio College because the credits will transfer if I decide to do something towards a Bachelor's later on. But for getting the bang for the buck AMR has a 5 month program and guaranteed employment for a year with them. I am planning on doing the EMS program through the college and taking it to Medic, but have been getting discouraged by the comments of not getting respect because of not having time in the field as a EMT first.
