 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came in with no prior knowledge about EMS and despite being an accelerated 2-week program, I left feeling confident in what I learned and also my abilities. All the instructors, Gio, Bawnie, Gramm, Justin, Briana, and Kyle, truly want you to succeed and are always there whenever you want to reach out.

Gramm and Bawnie continued to support me after the course through my clinicals, shoutout Gramm for scheduling and figuring out logistics so I didn't have to worry about it, and NREMT registration. I also passed the NREMT on my first try despite taking it 2 months after the course, a testament to how helpful the program has been.

How beneficial the course is does depend on how much effort you're willing to put in and how you take advantage of the learning opportunities, so I'd definitely recommend FastEMS if you want to get certified quickly and know you can put in the work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with FastEMS Training Solutions. The course was definitely fast-paced, but the instructors were very thorough and made sure each student understood the material before moving forward. We were given plenty of opportunities to practice through scenarios and hands-on techniques that mimicked real calls. I definitely felt well-prepared going into my field rotations and was able to quickly adapt to the environment. They also did a great job preparing me for the NREMT, and I was proud to pass on my first attempt!! I would definitely recommend FastEMS Training Solutions to anyone pursuing their EMT certification.
