EMSTA College

Can honestly say I wasted a lot of time and a lot of money coming to this waste of a school. Most of the instructors are just paramedics and don’t really know how to teach they Spend most of the time just telling you that you are just really going to be like a taxi driver and that you’ll be making less than people at jack in the box and then the worst part is the director of the program Rodney he is such a rude person does not try to help you at all he will prefer you fail the class and have to take it again so you pay the complete Tuition all over again, and then he makes fun of students from past classes for stuff like how they look or how fat/​weak they are. Stay away from this school, stay away from Rodney he is just one big thief trying to take your money.

I took the 8 week EMT course. It was amazing how much I learned in that time. Great instructors who prepare you for the national testing! I definitely recommend EMSTA!

I was a student here taking the 16 week EMT class. I really enjoyed most of my instructors and the class was put together very well. It taught you what you need to know. It directly corresponded with the book. The only thing I would recommend would to put the extra $ 100 for national registry skills testing as part of the tuition it definitely caught students off guard. Other then that it was an awesome school. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in the EMT program.

I was a student here, the teachers were great, very helpful and the textbook was very useful. I did end up leaving the program before the end, to pursue nursing instead only because I didn’t want to work saving lives for $ 9 an hour, but that had nothing to do with the school. I really think Emt’s deserve more than almost min wage, people that get guard cards online can work at seaworld making $ 12 an hr with no real experience, yet Emt’s have to start at a low pay and no one who does pay more than $ 11 will hire you unless you have at least one to two years paid experience. I really do think it was a great school, with great instructors. I really feel like the workshop class should just be included with the regular class even if the tuition goes up, it just makes more sense to group it together. I wish they had more classes close to South San Diego, I feel these instructors genuinely care about you.

Hands down, best learning atmosphere I’ve experienced in the 18 years of my education. I took Anatomy & Physiology here, currently enrolled in Paramedic Prep, and will interview for the July Paramedic Course at the end of this month. Before my current enrollment at EMSTA, I attended and graduated from a UC university and attended several vocational and EMS training colleges to pursue my EMS career. I can honestly say that EMSTA has provided me with the greatest all around educational experience thus far. First of all, the place is coated with inspirational quotes and pictures that creates a really positive vibe throughout the entire place. Even more impressive, however, is the amazing energy and enthusiasm modeled by the entire staff at EMSTA. I can almost guarantee that you will not find a greater group of instructors and staff anywhere out there. The instructors are readily available and go out of there way to make time for you, which is something I have rarely experienced. Throughout my experience, the front office staff has been amazingly helpful. Getting an actual human on the phone at any other college is literally impossible. The front office staff at EMSTA has totally helped me through any scheduling or financial issues I have encountered since I have been a student here and is always super friendly and just very helpful. If you are considering attending EMSTA for any of the courses they offer, I highly recommend it. Even if your just curious about the program just call them up and you’ll see what I mean.
