How do I become an EMT or paramedic?
EMT and paramedic applicants must be legally eligible to
work in the United States, have graduated from high school
or have a GED, and meet the physical requirements of the
job, as certified by a licensed physician. Guardian
College has free online GED preparation available for
interested students. High school courses in biology,
anatomy, and health professions are helpful, but not
required.

What
if I already have my EMT Basic certification?

Advanced or EMT Paramedic programs. All transfer students
must attend a mandatory student orientation and basic
skills review before the beginning of their Advanced or
Paramedic class.

Do
you have Financial Aid?
While we do not offer Federal Financial Aid, we have
payment plans for career training classes.
We can set up automatic payments by credit card and also
accept third party payments by employers and government
agencies. Check with our admissions officer for

Public
Access Defibrillators:

|
I've seen AEDs at the airport and the mall. What other
places should have them?
AEDs are of particular benefit wherever large numbers of
people gather (over 500) or in areas where people at high
risk for cardiovascular events live, work, or play.
Examples are libraries, senior centers, shopping centers,
golf courses, fitness centers, schools, and churches.
|
|
Is
there a liability issue for having an AED if someone dies
or is disabled if we use it?
Good Samaritan laws cover the use of AEDs by persons
trained in their use. AED manufacturers also indemnify
their products to cover the owner and user of their
products. Not having (or using) an AED when they are
beginning to be considered usual first aid equipment, or
when they are mandated (as they are in some states) may be
grounds for a lawsuit.
|
|
Can I
just buy an AED online and put it in my office?
Idaho law requires that public access AEDs have medical
direction and be purchased by prescription. Guardian
College offers these services through its medical director
for a reasonable fee. Guardian College also offers
placement assistance, payment plans, and other personal
service not available online or at retail outlets.
|
|
What services
does Guardian College offer to help our organization
implement a
PAD program?
Our trained specialists can do a site review to determine
the number and type of AED best suited for your needs. We
can provide you with the accessories, training, medical
direction, and service needed to keep your AED and your
staff ready to respond in an emergency. In case you need
to use your AED, we can provide replacement pads quickly
and review the event for quality assurance purposes.

How do I get a
CPR class taught at my location?
Call us and let us know the number of
students you need to train and we'll schedule your
class.
|
|
Where do you send
your instructors?
Our EMS instructors travel worldwide. CPR instructors
usually travel throughout the Treasure Valley free of
charge to our customers.
|
|
Can you teach any
class, anywhere?
EMS courses taught in other states must meet the
requirements of that state unless they are taught on
Federal or tribal land. International courses are
generally taught at US military facilities. It is usually
more cost effective to have the instructor travel rather
than sending many students to a central location.
