What the f***? How is this advertising? I do not work for the company. If it makes you feel better we can compile a list of US training providers for people who don't have the time or inclination to search Google? Here we have people searching for information and when it is provided a...

SAF, in the UK there is only one EMT course and that is the full IHCD one. There are an abundance of private EMT courses which will give you a shiny piece of paper with EMT written on it. If you are serious about doing HE medical work then you could do a lot worse than a brief trip over to the...
