The protocol was very technical and required several trained assistants. It was never addressed in class and this made it hard to complete.

It should have been discussed in class. The Instructor was quite dishonest about the protocols. There were 30 days before a one-year strike. He was trying to speed up the process to get the students out on car. Because I was unsuccessful at the exam, on the last day of class, I was restricted from completing the class.

If I was not allowed to complete the class, it is reasonable to conclude that the untrained students should not have proceeded to the on-car portion of the course, as well.

Did these "untrained students" successfully complete this exam?

I see that you are from Southwest GA. Did you go through the Darton College program in Albany?

OP, you asked what others think. He told you what he thinks of the question you asked. Dust was plain, blunt and succinct. I don't think he was malicious or bashing.

To clarify,yes they were all convicted felons. A felony be a criminal offense carrying a prison term of one year or more, GA typically does not send misdemeanor offenders to state prison.

I work in the area where an EMT-B course was taught to inmates at a GA state prison facility. The inmates selected were all "non-violent, low risk inmates". The same qualificaions as the inmates serving on the prison fire units. There was a lot of controversy over the program and ultimately they were denied state certifications. It turned out to be a huge fire vs EMS issue.
