online training academy

[Guest guest]

Hello, all. I wanted to pick some brains if I could. I just finished

up my EMT-B training. Taking NR test at the end of the month. I want

to get my FF cert next before I take EMT-P. I found out about this

online fire academy on trainingdivision.com. My reason for wanting to

take it this way is so I can keep my full time job. Gotta pay bills,

ya know. Anyway, does anyone have any experience with this type of

thing. Is this a wise decision? If not, what are some other options

you might know of. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks and be safe.

I would get my EMT-P before FF speaking from experience I`m having hell finding

a job as a certified FF/EMT it seems now FD`s are more willing to send you to

fire school rather than paramedic school not to say they wont hire you but I

have been certified as a FF for 3 years and am still looking for a fire job. As

for the online class I know about 10 people who have taken it from the same site

and they have all passed it with no problems.

Good luck to ya! I will probably stay as close to the Big D as I can, though.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

there this Saturday for the next 12 saturdays. The training facility is located

in Houston by Hobby Airport. The two are priced about the same. I chose FAO

because I'm closer to Houston than Dallas and they offer a choice satrudays only

or the 14 day boot camp at the end. I chose the Saturdays. I will be done with

everything by March 27, 2007

I appreciate the advice. Since I decided to get into this, I have heard one

universal thing. It takes forever to get on with any department. But, every

single FF I have talked to from Dallas to Rowlett to have all said, " Don't

give up. Keep getting as many certs as you can while you are applying. " So, I

wish you luck.
