This EMT program was honestly great. The schedule was super flexible, which made it way easier to balance life and school. The instructors were knowledgeable, real, and actually fun to learn from you can tell they genuinely care about their students. Jerry is funny as hell, Schaffer is awesome, and Brad is literally one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Don't be afraid to ask questions there are no dumb questions here. They really take the time to help you understand the material. I'm super grateful for the experience. Met some cool people that I can call my friends. -P.S Sit in the middle of the class don't sit in the back. read more

I just graduated from their accelerated EMT program, and the course was fast paced but well structured. Ken and Brad were excellent instructors. They are knowledgeable, supportive, and very clear in how they taught both the material and real world application. They genuinely care about their students succeeding. I highly recommend ProTech! read more

My instructor Jerry was the best! His knowledge, experience, and lighthearted vibe made the class both fun and easy to learn from. Overall, it was such a great EMT program and I'd definitely recommend it. read more

Jerry was one of the best teachers I've ever had. Amazing school that teaches you a lot and makes it fun. Do not go anywhere else!!!!!!

Amazing course and amazing teachers. Teachers really care about us and how we do. 6 week course is very fast pace and unfortunately I did not pass, but not because of the the teachers or course but, because I didn't work hard enough on my end. I will be back to finish the job! However the class was amazing between hands on and lectures. A lot of information very fast, but if you work hard it is possible. 12 week slower pace course is available which is what I will be coming back to do. Great experience even though I fell short on my end. read more

Protech EMT was a great program. I had Jerry for my instructor and he is a great teacher with a lot of field experience. His teaching style makes coming to class exciting and i looked forward to attending each class. He has stories relevant to the class topics which really makes it all stick. He is very funny which makes class even better. I would highly recommend this program to anybody looking to pass the NREMT. read more

Really I'll give it a two stars instead after all the course did get the job done through no help of the instructors, like I said before it was mostly independent study on my part, I did pass the nremt, worked as an emt for 1 year and then got into med school, I'm not looking for a refund or some sort of help or recompense, just had some free time and I thought about how awful my experience was at this school and wanted to provide people with a word of warning in case they consider it as well, I'm not sure if west coast is any better but I could only provide my experience as a testimonial if anyone else is interested. read more

Best EMT school in socal. The teachers are funny and have a unique teaching style that works. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to become an emt. read more

10/10 recommend Pro-Tech EMT School! They offer both accelerated courses and an evening course. The accelerated course is 8 hours a day, 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The evening course, which I took, is 2 nights a week for 4 hours, for 10 weeks. My advice would be, if you don't already have a good chunk of knowledge in pathophysiology, anatomy, and physiology, w/ some understanding of pharmacology/medical diseases, take the evening course. It's a slower pace (not super slow though), but it's only 4 weeks more than the accelerated course and you'll be a lot less stressed. I had Jerry as my main instructor and Raj for anatomy/pathophysiology and they were both phenomenal teachers. Jerry taught us in a way that really spoke to my way of learning through lots of real world examples & Raj really broke down the pathophysiology of the body in a way that just clicked in my brain! Not only was the course great and so informational, I passed my NREMT on the first try! Their goal really is to help you succeed on your journey from beginning to end, but you gotta put in the work too. They also work with you to help you get hired on to Faulk/CARE if you wanna work as an EMT straight out of your course. That's what they did for me and I'll be starting next week. Best of luck to you!! read more

Great experience with Pro-Tech EMT and its staff. Very accommodating for the individual student. They care about helping people become EMTs more than money. You still need to study outside of the lectures and have the initiative to show up and perform, but Pro-Tech is the perfect place for entry-level EMS. read more

Took the 6-week accelerated course and felt well prepared for the NREMT! Do well on the weekly lecture tests and the final should be no different. It's helpful to constantly review the material as topics reappear, and the textbook is a great tool. You're also given a good amount of time during class to practice skills by getting hands-on with equipment. The instructors are approachable, knowledgeable, and good at tailoring the information to what's relevant for us as test-takers and future EMTs. Recommend! read more

After graduating 3 years ago I am deeply appreciative of my time at the program. As it truly has prepared me for my work in the EMS field. Brad and Daniel were some of the best instructors ever. read more

Instructors Alfredo and Alfonso hard carried this class. They both worked very hard and took time out of class (non working hours) to create study guides for us. They were the best and they both had amazing teaching and speech skills. They even answered questions outside of class hours. Give them a raise Brad! read more

11/10 would recommend this school for anyone I know taking EMT classes (accelerated or evening class), POST (Peace Officer Safety Training) or CPR/AED Training. Taking an EMT class is different than any other schooling you will go through, right now I am a college student taking 15 units at Cal State Fullerton. I decided to take the M/W class 6pm-10pm. I didn't know if it was possible for me to do both schools, but I realized you just have to put in the work. Teachers: Brad who was my main teacher gives you the tools and knowledge to pass the class and pass the NREMT if you buy in and have a good attitude about it. You also have a couple of different teachers so they can teach you their viewpoint so you can hear different stories and different techniques for the class or the real world. The teachers will also allow you to stay late ask questions on things you are confused about or even help you map out a future plan to succeed in this career. Pro-Techs main goal: Pro-Tech cares about you passing the NREMT like every school, but they are one of the only schools who care about you being the best EMT you can be. They teach you to not be a wallflower (someone standing around while other people do the work), but they teach you to take initiative and to feel comfortable taking initiative. How to pass the class: I do recommend you putting in a good 3-4 hrs outside of the class studying every week if you take the evening class that I took. I put about 4 hrs every Monday into studying and I average about a 90-95% on every quiz. Pro-Tech vs other companies: Other schools care about their pass rate but they don't state their class retention rate if they fail you before the final of the class. They want you to just brag about how they have a high passing rate while from what I heard the students from other schools go into places like CARE not knowing basic skills. Opportunities to get jobs: Due to Pro-Techs close relation with CARE you have great networking opportunities with CARE ambulance company, and they put investment into making you the best EMT possible. All these other schools care about their pass rate but they don't care about giving you the knowledge and skills to be a successful EMT. What my friends have said at other companies: I have friends who have taken classes from West Coast EMT and they are jealous of what I am learning, how I am learning, and how the teachers care about you. They are also jealous of the overall pricing of the class. Pricing: Pro-tech has no hidden costs, everything you pay for upfront covers everything throughout the class, for example, the book and your uniform. The book also gives you study tools that you can use to study online instead of just reading. Things they can improve: At some points, the class did get a little unorganized and confusing, but they got it right back on track. Sometimes you would have a substitute teacher and you would have to tell them what you were learning but other than that it was an amazing class. Just a heads up: I did show up to the school before my class started, and it is taught at a church, so they are not always there. I just gave Brad a call and he was so nice and helpful, I realized that I picked the right school right then after having bad experiences communicating with other schools in the area. read more

Pro-Tech Life Safety Services - Brad teaching us to do Gun Shot Wound Packing. - First Aid Classes Near Me - Placentia, California

I had a great experience in the Pro-Tech EMT course. Met some good people. The course I enrolled in was held at the CARE/FALCK ambulance headquarters on Braden Ct. in Orange, CA. which is a nice facility. Being an individual with minimal background in the field, the course was simple enough to follow. I passed the course and was able take the NREMT exam 2 weeks later. I was able to pass the exam on the first try. If you are thinking about taking an EMT course, I would suggest looking into the Pro-Tech EMT course. read more

If I could give 10 stars I totally would! Jerry and Raj were my instructor and I absolutely loved taking this course with them as my instructors. They were the absolute best and very good at teaching. I could not recommend Pro-Tect EMT enough. They want to see you success as an EMT, and willing to do anything in their power to guide you to the right direction. I passed my National Registry the 1st attempt because of them and their teaching style. Pro-tect also partnering with Care Ambulance and their FTO will give you the best training experience ever. I'm sad that the course ended but I am MORE than happy to recommend it to anyone who is interested! read more

Pro-Tech Life Safety Services - Best way to learn is to hands on training. - First Aid Classes Near Me - Placentia, California

The team at Pro-Tech is incredible. I come from a background with no medical or STEM experience, and I took the accelerated course over the summer. The instructors (Brad, Daniel, and Dawn) each brought unique skills and experiences to the course, and they never thought there was a dumb question. At times there seemed to be a slight disconnect between instructors, but together they more than prepared me for the national registry and for the job. Everyday I was excited to go to class. They have several hands-on activities from day to day that will keep you engaged and learning. They also give you several cheat sheets and helpful handouts (in addition to the textbook and regular worksheets) to fully grasp the concept. Even slower powerpoint lessons were brought alive with their stories and colorful illustration. Moreover, their partnership with Care Ambulance Service is invaluable for your skills training and exposure to the industry. Perhaps it was unique to my specific class, but I got the opportunity to meet and work alongside equally dedicated peers. Everyone in the class knew why they were there and possessed great initiative, pushing me to do my best. Overall, it was an amazing experience for a price no one can beat. The combination of a welcoming but driven atmosphere, fantastic instructors, and structured curriculum was something I'd recommend to anyone. read more

See all

Cost: Lowest I've seen in OC. It even includes a great textbook (with online resources for a year) and polo. Course: There are options. I took the accelerated course, which was 6 weeks, 3-4 days a week. They even offered case-by-case rescheduled days with the other or future classes if needed. Teaching style: Brad, Daniel, and Dawn were always engaging and taught using their relevant experience. They were approachable and able to teach so that students coming from various backgrounds could learn. Networking: The class environment is highly collaborative (useful for the healthcare field). The class was filled with future firefighters, medics, PAs, physicians, and nurses. Prep for EMT skills: Pro Tech paired with Care Ambulence for skills training. Their training officers trained us like their own employees. Skills exam became easy to pass thanks to them! Plus, if you do well in front of them, they may even remember you when they hire ;) Prep for NREMT cognitive exam: I took the exam 1 week after the class and passed! Note: I actually put effort into the class, skills practice, and hw to really grasp the topics. 5/5 would recommend to friends and family read more

Pro-Tech Life Safety Services - Last day of class. Miss them! - First Aid Classes Near Me - Placentia, California

5 stars all the way through!! I completed the 6 week accelerated course and passed the National Registry just a couple weeks after. Brad and Daniel are the perfect duo and their teaching methods balance each other out so you are constantly learning from a new perspective. I walked into this program totally scared (don't get me wrong it is challenging) but they give you the tools you need to succeed. I am recommending them to friends and loved ones who are thinking of getting into the field because I seriously couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I already miss my awesome little class! read more

I took their last accelerated class January 2023 I just finished last week , a week later I took the NREMT and passed on the 1st attempt. Like anything in life you get out what you put in but the instructors do make it easier brad popped in and out but great guy tons of experience, Daniel our lead instructor again , great guy tons of experience not just EMT related but life related that you can truly carry with you. Jerry our skills instructor made it simple, great guy. The combination of their lectures , skills , personal experiences and knowledge made this class pretty easy, the way they teach and do group activities really helps you grasp things. Thanks guys ! Really appreciate it. 10/10 recommend read more

I cannot recommend this school enough! I am a working mom who's a little older, and I needed an education that was thorough and concise - and that's what I got at Pro-tech. The accelerated course clips along, and if you're ready to take learning seriously (like anyone should do when learning to SAVE LIVES!) then Pro-tech will get you prepared - both for the NREMT exam and for the real-world experience! The instructors are VERY knowledgeable, ready to share their extensive experience (LOVE THE EMS STORIES!), and are full of love and compassion for their students. Big shout out to Daniel and Brad - your warmth, humor, experience, and guidance have been incredible - so grateful to you both! This course is a great investment! read more

I highly recommend Pro-Tech. Jerry is a great instructor. He tells funny and interesting stories that make you remember the material. There is a ton of information to get through and they make sure to point out what is important and where you need to focus. Most importantly, I was well prepared to pass the NREMT after this class. read more

Had the pleasure of participating in the 12 week evening course with Alfredo and Alfonso instructing my class. Both are professionals with a love for their field and will provide any help necessary to ensure our success. The entire company has many outstanding professionals who strive to perfect their work ethic and knowledge base. If you need to obtain your EMT, this is the school to set you up for success. read more

Personalized training, amazing staff, they really care. Best customer service! Love their sweatshirts! They're vested in helping you find the right career read more

Brad and Daniel are both exceptional teachers and leaders! I took the accelerated class with Brad this past June, and Brad made the material easy to understand and remember. His countless medic stories helped me remember what I needed to do as an EMS professional. Brad's humor and bright character always made class engaging and entertaining. Brad always answered any questions we had about the material while delivering thorough and clear answers. As a student, you get what you put in the class. Nothing is handed to you on a silver platter, and nothing is extremely difficult to understand. The mix of lecture, class interaction, and online material addressed a multitude of learning styles. Brad provides thoughtful insight to not only help us pass the class, but pass the national registry for EMTs (NREMT). I can't thank Brad enough for his help and knowledge. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone thinking about becoming an EMT. I formed great relationships in the class and met some really cool people along the way. Thanks so much ProTech LSS!! read more

If I could give more stars I would! Brad was an amazing instructor/mentor. He's straight forward and tells you what you need to know and makes the class bearable. Him and the rest of the crew have tons of experience. I am a horrible test taker but Brad helped me overcome my fear of test taking by reinforcing confidence. This school will have your back if you put in 100% effort, but ultimately it's up to you on how well you do. I highly recommend this program to inspiring emts. I attended the 6 week program and it's not for the unprepared. Study hard and work hard. I have 4 years + hospital experience, have my medical assistant cert, and radiology. With my experience in schools and the field I can honestly say this is the best one I've attended. The money is worth it! read more

I graduated from the course in December and I had the greatest time taking it! Brad and Daniel were both great instructors that not only knew the material extremely well, but were also able to help us apply the concepts we learned to real-life situations. Their goal isn't just to get us to do well on the NREMT, their goal is to make us better healthcare professionals. For skills, we were able to train at CARE Ambulance with their current training officers. They taught and tested us exactly like they would for new employees. If you do well on these skills days, then they might offer you a job! I passed the NREMT at 70 questions and while Brad and Daniel do their parts to teach the material and concepts, it really is on you to study them on your own. Do all the worksheets, review the material, review questions you got wrong on the exam, and practice the skills whenever you can. They are always open to questions and are always willing to help clarify things if you need it. read more

Funnest class I ever took. I learned a lot. Brad, Daniel and Glen are super chill teachers with a vast amount of real life knowledge. They prep you enough for the NREMT. My background: bio major going into the health field It's not rocket science. Just listen to what they say. They don't want your money. They want you to learn. So pay them good money to learn good stuff. It's totally worth it. Cost: cheapest I've seen in OC. Books, uniform, and tangent stories included too!! I took the accelerated course (6weeks) read more

If you are looking to become an EMT, you need to come to Pro Tech. Brad and Daniel are the greatest guys. They are willing to work with students schedules, if they can. I did the Accelerated Course M-W 9am to 5pm. They let me leave 20 minutes early some days so I could go to my class at Cypress College, which started at 5. If you are willing to put in the work, you can pass this class. Accelerated is a fast class, as we covered 3/4 chapters a day. For those who think that is too fast, they offer a night course! With the textbook, there is an online version available. I recommend doing the tests on there for each chapter (not counted towards your grade) as it helped me learn the concepts and prepare for quizzes. Daniel and Brad really want everyone to be successful, and try to help in whatever ways they can. I'm so happy I went to Pro Tech! read more

I would highly recommend this class! I took the accelerated class with Brad and he was awesome. He is very knowledgable and makes sure that you are prepared for the NREMT. He really wants everyone to succeed in the class and is accommodating. He knows the industry really well and has a lot of experience. He makes the class fun with his stories and you will learn a lot from the class. Great experience, highly recommend. read more

Pro-Tech EMT was one of the greatest decisions of my life. Daniel, brad, jerry, and Glenn, thank you so much for the dedication and commitment you have put into this class. I'm beyond grateful for having you as my instructors. To anybody currently searching for a course, choose this one, don't search around anymore, you found the one. The instructors are amazing and will teach you all you need to know and help you to become successful in the field. I do not have one bad thing to say about this class. But again, choose this course!!! Good luck to any of you who signed up, you'll do great. read more

Pro-Tech Life Safety Services - Accelerated graduating class of 2019. - First Aid Classes Near Me - Placentia, California

If you ever wanted to go to EMT school, this is the place. Brad has been so helpful and willing to prepare those who really want to succeed. Pro-Tech's entire staff is knowledgeable, with both "book skills" and real world experience. I can say this is probably one of, if not the best EMT school in orange county. read more

I found this course online and have no regrets that I attended this course. I took the Accelerated EMT-B course which was 6 weeks Mon-Wed with 3 Skills day on Saturdays. The instructors Mr. Wilder and Mr. Ko were second to one. Combined, their wealth of knowledge and experience provided an easy learning environment. When covering sections of the text book, the instructors were able to provide real world knowledge and experience which helped add context. I passed my National Registry exam a week and half later after course completion and attribute my success to Pro-Tech and Brad Wilder and Daniel Ko. Highly recommend! read more

Pro-Tech made learning really challenging stuff actually really fun! Upon completing the program, I felt very prepared to take the NREMT... And guess what?? I passed after my FIRST attempt!! I am beyond thankful for Dan as well as Brad's support throughout the course and setting me up for success. They genuinely care about their students. I highly recommend this program for anyone considering a career as an EMT. read more

Pro-Tech Life Safety Services is an amazing EMT school! If you're looking for a welcoming learning environment where the teachers actually care about their students, this is the place for you! Cost: lowest I have seen in OC and LA! Course: I took the accelerated 6 week course which was M-W 9-5pm along with 3 Saturdays. There are also evening courses available to accommodate any schedule. Teaching Methods: Brad, Daniel, and Glenn are excellent teachers. Very passionate and knowledgeable about the field and they took the time to make sure everyone understood the material covered. Unlike other emt schools that just use Powerpoints everyday, Pro-Tech had us do presentations, extra skills practice, and gave real life examples of what EMTs have seen in the field so we would truly know what to expect. They were approachable and willing to stay late or come in early for students that needed extra help. Skills Training: Skills was done at Care Ambulance and where we were given feedback and tips from current EMTs and their superiors. I felt so comfortable with each skill by the end of the course and passed the exam no problem because of the repetition and precision techniques they used while teaching. We were trained the same way Care trains their own employees. Doing well in front of Care employees makes it more likely that they will hire you after competing and passing the course. Room For Improvement: The only (very small) negative about this school for me was that sometimes the syllabus was not followed exactly as written. For most students this wasn't a problem, I just have a busy schedule and prefer to have all dates for class, skills days, quizzes, chapters to read, etc. on a set in stone calendar beforehand that we stick to. Seeing as Pro-Tech is a newer EMT school, its normal for this to be a work in progress and I am sure it will improve over time! NREMT: I had no problem passing this exam after taking the Pro-Tech course. If you put in the effort, study consistently, stay on top of course material, practice your skills over and over, and pay attention in class you will succeed in this class! I definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to become an EMT. Thank you so much Brad! read more

Do you hate powerpoints? Do you not like lame boring classes? Do you prefer hands-on learning? Then this is the perfect class for you! Brad, Daniel, and Glen are all amazing teachers with awesome backgrounds in fire, police, and paramedicine. In the short 6 weeks that I spent in class, there was never a dull moment with these guys. Great stories of past and current events always kept the class interesting and Brad always had enough jokes to go around. My medical experience was barebones high school biology going into this class, and I'm happy to say that with a little bit of effort and some common sense, anyone can pass this class and come out as a competent EMT. I can't thank these guys enough for all that they do! read more

I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to go down the road to becoming an EMT. First off let me tell you about the teacher Brad, he cares about you more than a student. He wants you to succeed as a student and as a human. I was struggling as both a student and a person in life. He took the time to give me help first as a person and then a student. The man cared period, he never looks at you as a paycheck in his eyes. Gave me a reason to push forward to see that I can accomplish anything which I needed most. I didn't go down the road to become an EMT but if I did I would take his class in a heartbeat again. I'm proud that about this choice I took and will always back this class no matter what people say he's the best teacher you could ask for. As long as you give him a reason to believe in you he will move mountain for you. read more

After countless hours spent researching local EMT schools in my area (Riverside), I was extremely unimpressed. I decided to broaden my search results and came across Pro-Tech EMT in Anaheim. Sure it was a bit out of the way for me, but signing up for their 6 week accelerated course over the summer was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Daniel, Brad, Jerry, and Raj were the absolute best people to instruct the course because of all of their past and current experience in the EMS field. They were all extremely knowledgable and will go out of their way to make sure you understand the material if anything is unclear. They will answer any questions you have with respect since they know most of the information will be new to you. Their goal is to make sure you leave each class session feeling comfortable and confident in what you have learned. If you plan on signing up, my advice to you is to get involved and to NOT be a wallflower. You are there to learn what it takes to be successful in the field, so whatever you put into the course will be exactly what you get out. In terms of the learning experience, it definitely isn't like formal education because everything you learn can and will be applied to your line of work. Not only are you learning in a classroom setting, you will also take part in "Skills Training Days" at CARE Ambulance's headquarters to practice and physically put your knowledge to the test. Though everything can seem overwhelming at first, it will become second nature to you once you get some practice in. Overall, the guys at Pro-Tech do a phenomenal job and the course is a 10/10 experience, so I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in the EMS field! read more

If I'm being honest, I've taken 2 other EMT courses elsewhere and haven't succeed with them. Not to say anything bad about the prior classes I've taken but with Daniel and Brad (Pro-Tech Emt) things were different. These guys really invest in their students and do all that they can so you can pass. I took the National exam last week, and passed my first try. I'd be lying to say it's anything but the type of instructors Daniel and Brad are, I wouldn't have been able to do it without them. If your looking for an EMT program this is the one for you, I 1000% recommend you take it with this program. I did and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. read more

Pro-Tech is a life changer! If you are fresh and new to the EMS world, these instructors are ready to guide you throughout the process. Although I did pass the NREMT first try after completing this course, I felt like there were much more valuable things that I took away from this class. The classroom environment encouraged students to collaborate and engage with each other. The instructors, Brad, Daniel, Jerry, and Dawn, each had a distinct and unique role in the EMS field ranging from Fire Captain to Flight Nurse, allowing for varying perspectives and better connections with their students who want to pursue various medical fields. All EMT students will have a strong backbone for their career after completing this course. The instructors show that they care about their students' success, not only on the NREMT, but in their future career endeavors. read more
