Im seeking this level of certification for two reasons: one, its required for employment by Triple Canopy; Im not a Special Ops medic, so I need the EMT-I cert to be considered. Two, its much faster than the paramedic program. When I complete my contract I plan to attend nursing school so the paramedic program would be out anyway. Thank you for the links, I will check them out. Ive had a hard time locating resources.

Does anyone know if there is an online course for NREMT-I? There are no classes in Missouri since they dont recognize the license and I cant find any in Illinois either. I searched for this but didnt come up with an answer (my search-fu is weak). Thanks

Good call Ace. Experience isn't a worry for me; also, I have conversed with others (not on this BBS, but on others and in person) who are in that field and this training is the last major hurdle. If there are individuals you can direct me to for that sort of advice, though, I'm all ears. PM me their screen name and Ill search for their posts or PM them direct. I'm waiting to hear back from local training officers but so far just have messages.

I know Missouri doesn't have EMT-I; that's why I need to go to Illinois to get the training. Since this is a BBS of EMTs, I thought it would be a good place to check. I am actively searching google and the phone book; I appreciate your suggestions but please, if you dont know of a school near the st louis metro area offering EMT I certification, hold the rest. I'm not trying to start a discussion, just get school info. The employer I'm communicating with requires EMT-I, doesn't matter what state. The job involves a lot of travel and starts before I have time to finish a full blown para course. I have all the other details I need but a school to attend. If you have info on that subject, I would appreciate your assistance.

Timing is extremely important. I might not be in town long enough to complete an entire para course then do clinicals. I tried google but it brings up such confusing results. I thought it would be faster to search the message boards for someone nearby who had recommendations. Besides, how long is the EMT I program?

I am living in St Louis Missouri right now, and posses a Mo and Illinois EMT-B license. I'm applying for a job that requires a minimum of EMT-I. Does anyone know of schools near St Louis that offer this course(probably in Ill, since Mo hasn't got EMT-Is)? I dont have time to get a paramedic license, which is why the intermediate is my goal. Any info would help, esp specific school name, any contact info, experience with that school, etc. Whatever you can do to help. Thanks.
