BEST CPR class I have ever taken... I needed to get my…read moreAmerican Heart Association BLS CPR certification and saw this place on the AHA website. I reserved a spot on the AHA website (it was not located in this place's website for some reason) and then called to confirm my seat. The instructor asked if I could actually join a class THAT day which was awesome because I needed it ASAP. I give 4 stars because the building is down some creepy road that was super hard to find, I kept U-turning down van buren because there is no road sign to mark it. On the phone her accent made me think she said it was behind a "castle" but after I did a circle I realized it's behind a "car shop". The building looked super creepy from the outside and I had no idea where to park cause there was a bunch of closed fences, but I called the instructor and she reassured me she was on her way to open it up. So once i got past all the creepy building stuff and the 30min late start, Dr. Edith Amadi was a GREAT teacher. Like since my teacher in high school I have never seen someone care so much about CPR. She has been a nurse for a really long time and emphasized how important it is that we care about doing it right so that we don't kill someone on accident (like make sure their pulse is actually gone before doing CPR). She made sure she explained every part thoroughly and watched us to see that we actually were practicing the CPR correctly (in the past I have seen other instructors not care AT all about if you actually learned it). I learned the information so well that I only missed 1 question on the exam. I feel much more prepared to do do CPR now than I have after any other classes in the past. Wow wow wow! And it wasn't boring, thank you for not making it boring! I know they have CNA classes and are working on an LPN program as well. If she is also the teacher for those, I am sure you will have success. I attached photos of the creepy road and building in case you need to find it, I promise you won't get murdered

I had a fantastic experience with West Coast EMT. I took the accelerated 5 week course with Crystal…read moreas our class instructor. Let me start off by advising anyone considering the 5 week course to not underestimate the challenge. The EMT scope of practice may not seem very large, but the amount of knowledge you need to learn is vast. The course requires a 1500+ page textbook and you WILL need to learn the entirety of that book in the four weeks of lecture you have at your disposal. It's tough. Our class of nearly 50 had less than 20 graduates. You need to have a good work ethic, pay attention in class, and quite frankly being a good test taker will take you far. With all this being said, our instructor Crystal did a phenomenal job and prepared us better than I believe anyone else could have with the amount of material we needed to learn in the amount of time we needed to learn it. Combining a wealth of real world experience with an extremely impressive/comprehensive knowledge of all things EMS/Anatomy/Physiology Crystal did an exemplary job of teaching us what we needed to learn and preparing us for the NREMT after. I am grateful for the instruction I received and the experience as a whole.

I am disappointed to have to leave a negative review because my concern is not with the instructors…read moreor the EMT education I received, but with the way West Coast EMT has handled the recent situation involving Ryan Cuellar, who taught the Saturday EMT course at the Riverside campus. As a former student, I saw firsthand the amount of time, experience, and dedication Ryan brought to his students. I later returned as a skills instructor largely because of the positive learning environment he created. He consistently went beyond simply teaching the required material and brought substantial real-world EMS and fire experience into the classroom. Many current and former students valued his teaching, mentorship, and commitment to preparing students for work in the field. I am particularly concerned about the circumstances surrounding his termination and the communication leading up to it. Ryan previously worked for an agency where my father is a deputy chief. When Ryan returned to field work, he turned in his agency-issued work phone. Because that phone was no longer in his possession, communications sent to it were not necessarily reaching him. My father and I personally saw messages on that returned device. In my opinion, if there were concerns about Ryan's attendance at meetings or other responsibilities, reasonable efforts should have been made to contact him directly through his current personal contact information and give him an opportunity to address those concerns before such a serious employment decision was made. I am also concerned about the impact an abrupt instructor change may have on the students currently enrolled in his class. EMT courses are intensive, and students build trust and consistency with their instructor throughout the program. A sudden change in instructors can significantly disrupt that learning environment. I understand that there may be internal circumstances that students and former students are not aware of, and I am not claiming to know every detail behind the school's employment decision. However, based on what I personally witnessed as a student and skills instructor, I believe Ryan made a meaningful contribution to the Riverside program and deserved professional communication and an opportunity to address any concerns before his employment was ended. I hope West Coast EMT leadership, including the Riverside administration, takes the concerns of current and former students seriously and reviews how this situation was handled. I would appreciate direct communication from the school regarding these concerns rather than having this review removed or ignored. Students invest significant time and money into their EMT education, and instructors invest significant time into preparing those students for careers where people's lives may ultimately depend on their training. Both deserve professionalism, transparency, and respect.
