I took this course as a refresher. As a Navy Corpsman I was a certified EMT and really wanted to maintain this skill set. So i used this as a refresher before my NRT. It was exactly what I needed.

There were times when there would be things that seemed to be expected to be know without prior mention. For example, there was mention of the apisces of the lungs without mention of where those apisces lie. Over all, this is an amazing review course for someone with prior training but additional self study seems to be required for someone starting with no knowledge. If you have the drive and motivation, this seems like a good track to begin ones journey toward EMT.

This course was very thorough and easy to follow. The instructors did a good job and breaking things down to their most basic form in order to allow different learning styles to understand the information. The only issue I had was that some of the links, specifically the JEMS links, did not work properly. Not to worry, all you have to do is google the title of the link and a working link would appear. Excited for course 2 of 6.

I appreciate all the teachers in this course. The information and the communication styles. I wish the 'in' video pop up questions were a little more challenging at times. And also...the subtitles are not always correct as far as what is being said and what is typed. This is technical and a small issue. Also, one of the links in an early session was broken. But overall it felt good for what this is as an online course.

Please consider showing more examples of the medical provider asking for consent when they touch the patient. Please also consider describing situations in which the presence of law enforcement can make patients or the medical provider less safe.

This is a very short and easy to understand course that sets the pace for the rest of the specialisation. For anyone who has gone through medical school, this will mostly be common knowledge and will be an easy certificate to achieve.

Great course but the video quality is not the best, I wish the camera man was closer when showing things like handling itens or tools. Explanation is good but you still have to google a couple things to make sure you understand it.

Nicely explained and tests were good. Only issue was the volume of most of the videos was a little too low to be able to hear properly. Good content though.

Some portions of reading material even when marked done still showing resume button and stating that reading time still has 5 min. Left when it should not.

Course videos and lecture content are excellent. There are some training materials missing which I subsidized from the broader internet.
