www.emtinc.net aka Pelham training. Has anyone used these guys recently or know about them? Am thinking of doing their EMT-B + some tactical emt training extras and was just making sure they are not some really nice website with no actual people behind it, or gone out of business or anything.

Thanks for any replies.

I have serious doubts about any "school" that offers paramedic training that is less than 4 months in length.

I agree with fiznat if you are in school for less time you are not getting the education you deserve and pay for. The shorter the time you spend in school the less time you have to gain the knowledge you need to make it on the streets.

I agree with fiznat

As such, you are not what you call yourself in your on-line name. You ain't no fool!

To make it on the 'streets' gee they sound tough. I am just a security operator in Afghanistan, i'll make sure I get all the training I deserve and pay for lol . Actually most of it was free, in the military

Seriously as to the EMT-B, the cert is all I need, to match on paper what I already do, since I am not from the US.

Now ,anyone actually used these guys or know if they are still in business? (Don't be afraid to speak up- short course bashers please restrain yourself just for a short window)
