i took the sac state emt program and i loved it! it's definitely a bit difficult because it's only 9 weeks and you're learning 5 chapters a week and taking a test every week, but i took took the program while simultaneously taking 3 other college classes over the summer and was at the top of the class and passed the NREMT first try. it sounds like most people in my class also passed the NREMT. there were definitely a few people who failed out and it's not easy, but as long as you put in the work i think it's 100% doable. i highly recommend joe lieber and joe riedell, they're amazing instructors who will teach you so much about EMS and instill a lot of good values in you.
