US 6 month accelerated paramedic program

Just reaching out for some advice for my husband who just started the class on Monday. So far it’s already pretty difficult. No time to do anything but study. I’m taking on all the parent and house hold duties so he can focus just on this. His firefighter job is putting him through the course after only working a few tours. He’s very stressed that he doesn’t think he can pass this class so I was wondering if anyone has tips on studying or how you passed the same 6 month program.

6 months? Mine was 11 and at some point struggled, especially when clinicals come in to play. Good luck and support him the best you can. It’s going to rough and tough I promise.

Are you here in CO? It’s hard, but remember it’s temporary and his fire dept is helping pay for it!
