As I suggested before, your local Ivy Tech typically has these classes at least one semester each year.

As with anything, make sure you get the basics down pat FIRST, then seek additional training. Just like shooting, make sure that good foundation of fundamentals is in place. That will ensure you get the most out of any advanced training you take. We offer the American Heart Association's First Aid Course. I could also do a more advanced course if the interest was there.

Pelham Training Home in Bloomington offers an accelerated EMT course, 14 days.

I would check with Wells Co EMS and Adams Co EMS and see if they have any EMT classes coming up. Going into the winter months it tends to be when services do these types of classes. You never know you might enjoy the training and job so much you end up as a Paramedic. Pretty sure that is the way it happened to me 20 some years ago. Believe me there are worse jobs out there.

I'm actually considering something like this. I didn't realize the costs were so reasonable.

STAR Ambulance Service has EMT classes in Crawfordsville. I think they're in the middle of one right now, but you can find out when the next class starts.

I went ahead and looked into the possibility of training through Wells County EMS. They have a class that starts up in January for EMT. I am strongly considering taking the course. Esrice, out of curiosity, what did you find the cost to be when you researched the idea? Cost for me is $800 for the course and $50 for CPR requirements.
