I wanted to say thank you for providing a professional and concise learning
environment. Every instructor I interacted with was a complete joy to talk
with and a pleasure to learn from. I was extremely impressed with the
availability of equipment for practice and the quality as well. I also enjoyed
the deep honesty of all the instructors. Your program is the best, bar none.
I wished I had done my EMT-Basic course at LaGuardia. Any and everyone
that asks me for a place to go for a refresher course or basic course,
LaGuardia will be the first word out of my mouth. I could keep praising
the program but I will just say, thank you, thank you, thank you.
