I appreciate all the responses. I think I might go with the the second program, Montco. But, I'm having a hard time finding out if it's accredited. I know the Medic schools must be accredited, is it the same for Basics? Jake

Thanks for your response. I should have mentioned that the second program also has an occasional Saturday class. Do EMT-B courses have to be accredited? I'm having a hard time finding out whether or not the second program (Montco) is accredited.

I'm am trying to get certified as an EMT-B but I'm very unsure which way I should go about it. One program, Jeffstat in philly, offers a full-time course, M-TH from 9-4 for 8 weeks. Price is $1000 The other program, through Montco, offers a course from 2/25 - 8/15, class meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7-10pm. Price is $235 Why is one program much longer than the other? Why is the other so much more expensive? Thanks, Jake
