What students are saying about
911Programs

"It was a great pleasure to take your EMT-Cardiac class. The small class size made it very easy to learn. The individual attention that you offered to us, went well beyond any other class that I have taken. I enjoyed taking your course, and I have recommended it to many of the other members of my service as an excellent program to go through. Thank you!"
