Unitek EMT

"I also was a little skeptical about a 16 week course being condensed into 2. I had taken a 4 week course years ago and that had been intense...That being said, my expectations were exceeded! The school has some phenomenal instructors that are able to breakdown and relay information in a way that resonates. Not only did I pass the class, but I'm confident that they have prepared me 100% for what's to come next. 10/10 I recommend. All I gotta say is you better bring your A game, because they sure as hell do!"

"Incredible accelerated program. I was skeptical at first but after the two weeks of class was up I felt completely prepared for the NREMT exam. I passed the NREMT on the first attempt so obviously it worked. The instructors really care about each student individually and they go out of their way to make sure each person is taken care of. I would recommend for anyone who is highly motivated and ready to get into the field as soon as possible. BURN DIESEL"

"Most amazing instructors who took the the time to make sure you understood every step of the way. It’s a fast pace course but “trust the process” is definitely the right motto. I would 100 percent recommend this course to anyone. Paige, Eric and Danny were above and beyond great teachers!"

"My initial thoughts were that it was a scam however I was completely wrong! Incredible facility, staff, and program. I loved how quickly we were able to complete the course. While it was pretty challenging I was so happy I went with Unitek! The admission process was super easy, I found it to be pretty affordable for the experience we got including the food, uniform, and quality education. The skills were fun and the material was interactive and exciting to learn. I would strongly recommend taking this course. It is cool to see how far so many people travel to take the accelerated course being that it is one of the only programs like it in the nation. This was my first exposure to the medical field and the first step of my journey to become a Firefighter. Trust the process!"

"This is not a day class, or a college course, or a scam. This is a Boot Camp led by a team who will force you to become a good EMT and have fun. Get up at 7 am to be there by 8, grab some coffee and start taking vitals and comparing homework or checking in with your group, attend lectures and complete assignments. Lots of demonstrations, videos, and the instructors tell tons of stories from their fields. I heard the most hilarious stories from Dan and Loren but everyone there has good humor and entertains while lecturing. Caleb was my favorite, the guy is so knowledgeable and concise and has a great voice. Everyone is pretty passionate about the subject matter and knows how to prevent boredom from setting in. We learn whole chapters and at a time during lectures and they give plenty of time to directly and thoroughly answering questions. After lectures, there's a lot of hands-on learning with mannequins\other people. At first it's just taking turns helping people stand up and learning how to take blood pressures or give epi but they get more and more realistic, by the end we'd get dispatched over the radio for a 911 call and have to push through a barricaded door into a dark room with music blasting and someone sobbing with open wounds or help a burn victim after an explosion. Maybe someone calls for a headache and I know that's just Nicole, but she's very good at her job so she's confused and losing consciousness and it 100% feels like a real patient having an emergency and sometimes we succeeded in saving the patient and sometimes we didn't. Every scene was a mystery and wrong decisions had consequences and it was designed to feel serious, everyone's rushing to set up the O2 tank or stop bleeds or figure out why the patient can't breathe. Jessa and Paige and John and the guy who looks kinda like Jack Black all gave us a hard time and really got in character with props and attitudes and as a theater kid myself I was impressed, they went the extra mile with everything. It was good information to have but it was fun, too. Class lasts around 12 hours but after the adrenaline and cramming and socializing, it often feels later. Get back to the hotel(a good discount is offered through Unitek) and study notes to pass your quizzes, do homework, type patient care reports. Or go to the bar with your new friends and talk about needing to study and end up getting a solid 3 hours of sleep. Tea, coffee, and hot cocoa are always available. There's always leftover lunches and dinners in the fridge as well. Lunch and dinner include a main dish, side dish, and sometimes a dessert. It's real food, too, the chicken might be kinda dry but it's no sack lunch. There's also vending machines and a nearby circle k in case you need another energy drink. It's an extremely challenging, stressful class and a lot of people wereconvinced at one point that they were going to fail or have to quit. It feels impossible to achieve everything expected for graduation and everyone has such a different background that it starts to feel hopeless at times, but the staff just push you through to the end and before you know it you're reciting all the acronyms and procedures and walking out with your certificate. The staff there are awesome, supportive, and trustworthy, everyone instructor was someone's favorite. Everyone cares a lot there. I would recommend this for anyone with determination and willingness to trust the process, regardless of skill level or experience, because they've seen it all and they've got your back. I already kinda miss it. 10\10 recommended, I'm lucky I came here."
