Project Heartbeat - Sacramento

I took Project Heartbeat’s 5 week EMT course last month. It was amazing! I can say that this was probably the most fulfilling academic experience I’ve had.

As opposed to the standard community college EMT course, this program is very fast paced. I felt pretty conflicted between the two options at first. However, having completed the course, I’m confident this is the better option. Because of the fast paced learning and the teaching style, information is understood and retained, which creates an excellent medical provider.

Instructors were all amazing. Instructors had a great, robust and diverse range of experiences in EMS and military. Instructors did a great job of explaining and preparing you for the actual realities of EMS. Staff all want to create competent EMT’s. There was never a time I didn’t feel like I had someone knowledgeable to ask questions.

Plenty of hands-on time in addition to lectures, which is so important for EMT. Lots and lots of practice is available, with many volunteers and instructors offering to come in on their own time to provide extra practice. For our particular class they even allowed some of us to bring equipment home to practice with.

Can’t thank the whole staff and all the volunteers enough. Great program, worth every cent. Sign up! Go in with a good attitude, work hard and knock out this semester course in 5 weeks! You won’t regret it when you finish.

I recently took the 5-week EMT program at Project Heartbeat and I had a great experience. Steve, Eric, Brian and everyone else who came through to help our class were amazing! Thank you for everything! They worked together to ensure that we all learned what it means to be EMTs and how to be a good one. All of them take their time to help you if you have any questions or are stuck on something and will do everything they can to make you good providers. The instructors will push you to be independent and will hold you accountable, but be confident and everything will work out. The 5-week program is fast-paced and definitely difficult with all of the new information, but in the end (if you put in the effort and trust them) the process will be rewarding.

If you are looking for a new step/first step into the medical field this place is a GREAT place to start. I took their 5 week EMT program and it has changed my life for the better. Not only did I make new friends and learn new information, I became a better person. The instructors will help you become who you want to be, they care about their students and it shows.

Project Heartbeat is more than just a school to me it is a second home now. I appreciate what they helped me achieve. Even if you just want to learn basic life support skills I highly recommend going here. If you want to push yourself even further then take the EMT course, you won’t regret it.

I had an awesome experience! Location was great and parking was in front of the office. The office was nice and clean. The equipment used were up to date. Clarence, the instructor was very thorough and professional. He answered all questions asked and very approachable! Overall, my experience was amazing and will definitely come back for more classes offered.

I took a CPR certification course here. It was an excellent experience. My instructor was Clarence Castillo. He was extremely enthusiastic, engaging, and showed how much he values and cares about what he teaches. The course itself was designed very well. I appreciated the logical sequence of the many different parts of the course. In addition, there was an emphasis on hands-on training which helped me to solidify what was taught during the course. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course and instructor at Project Heartbeat.
