Ask the Community - West Coast EMT

Hello, I am trying to find information on accreditation. Is West Coast EMT accredited?…

We are BPPE accredited through California and local EMS approved in Orange County, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego counties. We are also approved through the National Registry of EMT’s since 2012. Hopefully this answered your question.

Do you offer options to retake final if failed for the first time?

No, if you fail the final, you retake the class. If you can get to the final, you can most likely pass the class (especially if you have a decent average).

I'm having a hard time finding out how to get the uniform. Do you guys sell them at your OC location?

Yes, textbooks and uniforms can be picked up at our Anaheim Campus weekdays from 8:00 - 5:00

Where would I be able to access the uniform?

What's the address in Redondo school?

Thank you for your question. At this time, our closest campus to downtown Los Angeles would be Redondo Beach.

Does the hybrid online course still require the uniform purchase?

I think so

Hi, my name is jasmine and im going to be starting the full-time course soon and I was wondering if it is required to have your California state driver's license in order to be in the class?

As I do see the other question asking about getting a job after the course. I'm still curious any updated information on how easy it is to get a job after?

We have ambulance companies come to our campuses to talk about what they have to offer .ie pay, schedule, and benefits. They will walk you through the application process and interviews. The jobs are there however we have no control of how students… Read more

How easy was it to get a job after finishing the program?

We have numerous ambulance companies that work with us and they hire our students.

I had been in session with the mannequin for over an hour! I appreciate your patience Eric and the way you are willing to regardless of their age ! God bless you CPR keep on doing a great job. See you next time.

I completed CPR training in February 2026 in Colorado and initially, the process itself was smooth…read more I can certainly acknowledge that. However, there were significant issues with the training setup that ultimately led to an injury. Due to the room configuration, I was unable to properly reach the mannequins and had to perform CPR on my tiptoes. The table was not adjustable, and no stool or accommodation was available. As a result of these poor ergonomics and lack of proper setup, I sustained a neck and trapezius injury mid-cycle. Ended up having to literally crawl on to the table . At the time, I reached out simply to provide feedback in hopes of preventing a similar experience for others especially individuals under 5 feet tall. The initial response I received was apologetic, and I appreciated that. However, after enduring five weeks of significant pain, I followed up to ask about the appropriate process before seeking medical care, as providers often ask for details about how an injury occurred. Unfortunately, the response I received at that point was defensive and dismissive, referencing a signed waiver rather than addressing the concern. The response was unfortunate. I fully understand that CPR training can be physically demanding. However, participants should be provided with a safe and properly adjusted environment to perform these skills. In this case, the setup did not allow for that and contributed directly to my injury. As a side note, I happened to have the session recorded (originally intended for social media), and it clearly shows the moment the injury occurred. Overall, I'm very disappointed in both the lack of appropriate setup and the company's response. I am still dealing with daily neck pain without resolution.

Brian is awesome. Super enthusiastic and actually teaches CPR. He gives great feedback and…read moreconstructive criticism. I've renewed my BLS many times with other companies, but this guy really teaches to save lives. The only issue I have is that I asked for CEU's and was never given them. Super important if you need them for a job. They never got back to me after I asked if I could get them. I also got an email stating that I'd probably pay more money, when on the website, it states they give CEU's when taking this class. Overall, class was great with a great instructor. Just a little disorganize when it comes to the CEU's. Hopefully no one has to deal with this when they need the CEU's.

Instructor Brian is one of those instructors who actually engages with the students, provides…read moreconstructive criticisms, real life situational scenarios, and how to approach them. Coming into class I felt rusty with my skillset, but leaving I felt confident that I would be able to provide high quality CPR in this situation. Pros: Skill set improved Choking Mannequin (surprise) Mannequins with sensors to provide visual/haptic feedback when providing compressions Air Purifying Filters , Instructors uses bleach wipes to clean each mannequin per use, each student has own mannequins/AED, EASY CEU process, and Same Day Certifications if you pass the test. (15 minutes after last person leaves test site) Knee rests foam boards for adult CPR DAD jokes are awesome. Happy WIFE Happy LIFE. P.S. * Complaints about small classroom size not an issue; Small Groups so didnt notice. You are here to improve and learn HQ BLS. If your biggest complaint is small classroom size vs learning techniques to save individuals I would say your priorites are wrong. HIGHLY RECOMMMEND. Cons: Possible whispers Instructor Brian may retire :(

I came in with no medical experience and was able to catch up to everyone else who already had…read moremedical experience. I'd recommend this flexible LVN program, it is part time 2 theory classes and a 12 hour clinical each week for a total of around 18 months. It's a bit longer than most LVN programs but I would choose this option again if I needed too. You are able to work while studying, for me I was able to work 30 hours not full time, I started full time and quickly learned I personally would not be able to juggle both and still learn as much as I would like to. They have great clinical instructors with lots of experience and willing to help, they will be on you to learn and if you are falling behind, they will give you that extra one on one time during clinicals! Mrs. Rahimi, Ms. Vanessa, Mr. Faud were so great! Lastly during the end of my time at CCI they brought in a new instructor for theory that made all the difference, Dr Ayman was great! I'd compare his classes to a Mark K lecture, everything he taught was helpful, he would give mnemonics, study material, everything that helped us learn. He would make sure to be available for us should we need anything, he would do one on ones to make sure everyone was working on their weak areas and encouraged us to finish strong. At the end school is hard so make sure you are ready to stay the course both mentally and physically! You have to do the work and with this schedule it's honestly doable.

Easy enough, run, do not go here. last minute changes. they will tell you they will accommodate you…read morefor this and that and then go back at the end and say haha jk and laugh in your face. have a meeting with them and they do not let you speak and just end the meeting when it benefits them. just simply do not go here and do your research before you rely on this school because their schedule benefits you. it's not as good as it sounds.
