NY-NJ-basic Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I don’t know bout courses in the city, but if you’re willing to catch a bus from the Port Authority or hop on an NJ transit train, there are a whole lot of Jersey courses available. And a big advantage is that NJ basic classes generally cost a maximum of $550, which is a substantial savings over NY rates, plus if you’re a current or prospective member of a volunteer squad the class is free. Check out the available classes here: http://www.state.nj.us/cgi-bin/dhss/ems/courses.pl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 But... Will your new New Jersey EMT card be accepted on the NY side of the state line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic2588 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Yea, don't count out Jersey if you're that close. There's excellent programs in Jersey City - one through the Jersey City Medical Center in Meadowlands Hospital, and one through the Hudson County Community College in Jersey City. I'd recommend the Medical Center one (and not just cuz I teach there from time to time). Devin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMSLuke134 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I graduated from Jcmc/Meadowlands Emt-B class. Very good class. I highly recommend it. its nowhere near the PATH, but i suspect it is commutable by train to a bus. theres a bus stop nearby. Check out NJ Transit to look for a bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumozebra Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I'd suggest you check out Saint Vincents down by 7th Av between 11th and 12th street they got a great program *that i'm doing in september* but u gotta register and get the info pack and stuff, and they also require you to have 2 recommendation letters http://www.svhiec.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xselerate Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 But... Will your new New Jersey EMT card be accepted on the NY side of the state line? NOPE As far as I remember NYS does not honor NJ EMT certs because the level of training (according to NYS) is too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
