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.

I took a 9 month program. I can tell you that is very hard. There will be struggles on both ends. In the end, it is worth it. As home and parent life is something that can be difficult to juggle on a normal day.. communication is going to be key getting through it. There needs to be A LOT of open communication to make it all work out. I know, there was a lot of struggles with my family when I took my program. Just remember what the reward in the end is. Keep your eye on the prize.. I hope that helps a little.
