New to EMT looking for advice

I have been working in hospital security for the last three years and have absolutely loved being in the healthcare environment and learning about the field. I am considering enrolling in EMT school to further explore opportunities in healthcare.

I’m looking for advice on where to find funding and recommendations for the best EMT schools.

During my research, I found a local hospital offering an EMT program for $1,500. I’m not sure if it’s too good to be true or if completing this program would be enough to secure a job afterward. I live in Colorado, if that helps. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated!
