The dude screw other peoples opinions on time line. If you know the material that's all that matters. EMT B is easy as well. Keep looking lots of excellerated programs for that level of training.
I agree, If you are capable of learning the material at an accelerated pace, then to hell with what anyone thinks. At the end of the day, there is no substitute for real world hands on experience, and a level head (of which I believe the OP has).
