I am currently taking an Investigator I course, and let me tell you, it is AWESOME. It's a very fun and challenging course. I have also taken numerous non-certification courses that have taught me a lot. I will be taking an Advanced-EMT course this spring and hopefully will start Medic school within the next year. I am definitely looking forward to it!
