This 21 day program is held from 8:00AM to 3:00PM on M-W-F of each week and will last approximately 7 weeks. All the lectures will be conducted “online” but each class also involves skill days and a final written exam which will be conducted at our Satellite campus located at McCormick Ambulance facility 13933 Crenshaw Blvd. in Hawthorne CA 90250. Principle Instructor: Mike Wilson. Due to new health care guidelines, we are limited in terms of how many students we can have at the campus at one time. As such, we have broken down the Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes into two “Groups.” Lectures for both Groups will be done at the same time because they are conducted online. Skill days will be broken in to two groups. Group “A” will be doing their skills on one day, and Group “B” on another. You must attend ALL sessions scheduled for your group. There is no switching between groups nor can you make up a “missed” day by joining the other group.

Please note: For Group A the “in person” mandatory sessions you will have to attend will be on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Pay close attention to the “in person” dates for your group.
