Hmm. I am a NREMT EMR/Texas ECA and volunteer on an ERT. 25% is not too shabby. I never hear about this school on here, though.

This forum mostly talks about the Big 3 because of the very small residency requirement and competency-based schools since you can move through them quickly at a low cost. Liberty University is a traditional school that isn't self-paced, and it has your typical residency requirement.
