Texas EMS Academy, Corpus Christi TX

I want to Thank Texas EMS Academy Staff and Instructors for the hard work and dedication they put in during the 2/28/22-3/13/22 2 week EMT course. Instruction was definitely well taught by highly experienced and knowledgeable Paramedics who take thier personal time during thier off days to teach. I want everyone to know I Passed my NREMT on the very first try. Highly suggest and recommend Texas EMS Academy to anyone wanting to pursue a career in EMS. Thank you all once again.

Great staff and instructors. They are always happy to answer any questions/concerns. The instructors were all brilliant and engaging. I took their EMT training course in SA and it was great. I highly recommend it.

The 14-day EMT program is very thorough and fast paced, so if you’re someone who likes to get information that’s short, simplified, and straight to the point this program is for you! There’s also a 30-day program option. I loved that each instructor brought their own unique way of teaching, had different real-life experiences to share with us, and kept it interesting and fun!
Overall, I had a great experience during this program and highly recommend it!

Our team at CityOf.com attended a class to learn CPR, First Aid and standards for Fire Extinguisher use. The course was simplified and informative, which I believe will help us all retain the lifesaving skills we acquired. We enjoyed working with our Instructor Reynaldo Rabagos, he is a great teacher. Thank you for the good work at Texas EMS Academy.

Hands down the BEST CPR training I've ever had. Ray Rabago, the instructor, was amazing. I'm a nurse from New York and this was already my fourth BLS for healthcare provider class over the years. I can't stress enough how accurate, thorough, to the point, no time wasted class this was. The environment is also relaxed. I highly recommend this academy.

This is a real and honest review! I just graduated from this academy’s 14 day EMT program. I took my National Registry a few days ago and passed first try. This school is awesome and has great teachers. I made a bunch of awesome friends and had a blast. If you’re looking to get EMT certified ASAP this is the place for you. Highly recommend!

I would recommend this academy to anyone who is serious about becoming an EMT. The course is taught by current Paramedics that work for CCFD along other surrounding EMS providers. If you attend the 2 week course like I did, understand that a lot of information will be thrown at you however, if you pay attention, through the quizzes and tests, you will come to learn the information. Overall, I had a great experience and passed my NREMT Exam.

Excellent school. Instructors were great, very professional and took the time to make sure you understand the knowledge they are teaching. Clinicals were assigned appropriately and even offered tutoring before NREMT exam. Anyone on the fence about which school to attend I highly recommend Texas EMS Academy.

This is by far the best accelerated program available. From the time you arrive, they make you feel special. Each instructor has their own unique way of explaining the material. They share stories and techniques from years of real world experience. For someone like me, the visualization of actual events was much easier to understand than attempting to visualize the scenarios provided in the book. Not only would I recommend Texas EMS Academy, but I would strongly suggest it. Nowhere else will you get genuine people who actually care if you succeed. I passed my national registry on the first attempt less than a week after the class ended. Although I could have named everyone that was so amazing, it would be a disservice to anyone that I may have forgotten simply because of how outstanding every single person was. If you make the right decision in choosing to attend, you will not regret it.

Honestly I do not even know where to begin-and I never feel compelled to write reviews, but given the overwhelmingly positive experience I have had these last 2 weeks at Texas EMS Academy (completed the 14-day EMT-B accelerated program), I felt like I owed it to all of you out there to add yet another 5 star review and tell you about how awesome my time here has been. If you stop reading here, all you need to know is that if you are the fence about EMT school, and in particular, Texas EMS Academy, DO IT. At the risk of sounding corny, the program is amazing, but the people truly are even better.so much so that they have actually inspired me to submit an application to CCFD. And I had absolutely no intention of applying down here prior to coming-the people are that excellent. And if y'all do not mind, I am going to give some of them some shoutouts, cause they REALLY deserve it. Before you even arrive on campus, the staff already has you covered and makes everything extremely easy and painless. You will be greeted by the wonderful Alexa and Esmer each day and they will go above and beyond to help you with absolutely anything and everything and ensure your time runs smoothly. Rey Rabagos, the founder, has assembled a stud and studette-filled roster of instructors, in addition to being an absolute legend himself. An extremely accomplished and humble guy still with the Corpus Christi Fire Department, Rey is always there to help in any way he possibly can. You will be instructed by the best, and they somehow not only make a seemingly impossible amount of sophisticated information easy for the layperson to understand, but they also find a way to make it fun. You will have veteran, extremely well-respected members of CCFD, like Kris Collins, Mark Smith, or Chief Danny Valdez, who have many years of EMT, Paramedic, and Fire under their belt, in addition to younger, up-and-coming, top of their class, all-around stars-in-the-making like Kassandra Goce, Austin Eagerton, and Ryan Bram, who are not only insanely knowledgable, accomplished (all EMT, Paramedic, and Fire at CCFD) and wildly helpful, but also have invaluable insight onto what exactly is on the NREMT exam. And on top of it, Joe Brunemeier (also CCFD EMT, Paramedic, and Fire) will hook you up with clinical rotations to get actual experience with EMS departments and the ER. And the results speak for themselves: was able to pass the NREMT Exam first try, and that’s not me blowing my own horn, because that is fully because of the program and people at Texas EMS Academy. Regardless of where it all goes, just want to use this review as both an opportunity to say THANK YOU to the unparalleled team at Texas EMS Academy, and to let you all out there know that not only is it worth it, but I guarantee the program and the people will exceed your expectations.

I can’t recommend this academy enough! They make the 14 days of straight class work and clinicals more than manageable and make sure that you only learn the information that you actually will need to know in the future. The instructors made class fun and were all more than amazing! They all have experience and again make sure and only teach you valuable information but also make class fun and enjoyable. I passed the NREMT on the first try and this course made sure I was well-prepared!

I took my EMT-B class here as a requirement to be a firefighter. I initially thought it would be a hassle having to take this course but it turned out to be an incredible experience. The instructors vast knowledge and skill were matched only by their determination to see their students pass. They’re willing to meet with you nearly anytime you need if you’re struggling with anything or if you just want to review previous material. After taking their 30 day class I was able to pass the NREMT exam on my first attempt. I definitely recommend the Texas EMS Academy to anyone that is looking for an EMS course.

Everyone was friendly there and made you feel welcome. The course was very informative. Rey really helped us by sharing his experiences in the field and was able to provide us with the tips that we can use if we ever need to.

I enjoyed learning and updating my knowledge of cpr the teacher was Rey Rabagos he was an excellent teacher I would most definitely recommend this class to family and co workers!

I just want to say thank you to Texas EMS Academy for helping me achieve my goal of becoming an EMT! I really enjoyed taking classes with Texas EMS Academy! It was a really great experience! The instructors are very knowledgeable and amazing! They made the class interesting by telling us real life experiences! Great news. I passed the NREMT ON MY FIRST TRY! I am now a certified medic! Thank you Thank you Thank you! You guys are amazing!

If you have ever toyed around with the thought of becoming an EMT, this program is the first place you need to research. The teachers provide you with their lifetime experiences, while keeping it real with the class. You are given the tools and resources you will need to pass the NREMT. This is an accelerated class. Prep yourself before you enter the class room. That was the first mistake I made. *THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE CLASS*
You are NOT just another number walking through those doors. This program instructor (Rey) knows and remembers his students. He is the type of man that will do what ever it takes to help you succeed not just with passing your class, but with improving your life as a whole.
I had to take a refresher course, due to not enough prep on my own. 6 months after taking the initial course I came back to people who actually remembered my name and went out of their own way to make sure I had what I needed to succeed.
There are hotels with discounts for you to afford the two week stay. Your book work and cridentials are all completed in a two week period. What more could you ask for?
If your even thinking about trying out for EMS call this school, ask for Esmer or Rey. They will provide you with everything you need to know and more.

My name is Manuel Perez, I am from illinois, and I HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone that wants to make an impact on others lives. I have told my family, I have told my friends. Now I am telling you.go for this program. It is everything you've been looking for. Don't hesitate!

I took the 14 day EMT program and really enjoyed it. It is very fast-paced, but that sort of learning style works for me. I took my NREMT test one week after finishing the program and I passed first try! Texas EMS Academy has great instructors that are experienced in the field and explain things very well. I highly recommend this course!

Everything was taught as if in an everyday situation! Very understandable and easy to remember. Great class!
