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.

Good course but confusing. The description implies a full EMT program which this course is not. Otherwise for me a good review.
