How rigorous is EMT training? How much time do you spend a day studying? Is the work really difficult? Roughly how much does it cost from beginning to end for EMT basic.
I just want to do it normally i'm in no rush.depends on the format you do it in. it's 120 hrs or so. doing it in a condensed version is pretty challenging over a short period. most classes last a semester so it's only a few hrs/week. not too bad.
I spent minimal time studying and took it while a senior in high school. my course was free. I just had to buy the book. costs today range from free to a few hundred bucks for a standard course to thousands for the quickie courses.
Ok thanks.its all relative. 120 hours is one work week for some. if you can complete high school level courses and put in a few hours a night you will pass no problem.
If you zero medical background & ure brand new to the EMS world, there will be a learning curve. It took me a while for things to click.
If you take a 6 month course (or 4 month, whichever), that's a safe pace to learn & digest information. My course was 6 weeks(Army crunches everythin') and it was challenging.
Even if people get past the course, the part that trips them up is the hands on (All Skills Tests).
