I have a lot of respect for this man. He is very helpful, insightful, and just an all around good guy. If you have any questions, he will gladly help you out so that you can have a successful career in EMS.

Bruce is a nice guy but a HORRIBLE teacher. 95% of lectures consist of stories. Luckily, the class has other teachers otherwise the passing rate would be a lot lower than it is. If you don't have decent study habits, you will not pass this class (aka reading from the book). I feel sorry for those of you who have to sit through his "lectures."

Its all fun when he jokes around but what he lectures on doesn't prepare you for the test.. There's a reason why there are so many people that have to take that course twice!!!

Don't take EMT at Palomar. I took it Summer 2009 and regret it. Out of 30 students who took it 10 didn't pass. Tests are very difficult and the wording throws you off a lot. Tests were purposely made to weed-out. Bruce is a funny guy but not a good teacher.

Great teacher. Listen to his lectures,he teaches you exactly what you need to know, and prepares you very well for the National Registry Exam. Mr SD county EMT of the year, you'll know when you go to get your county card.

Lot of fun, but still educational. The EMT/Paramedic program is taught by a bunch of different teacher (all great I might add), but Bruce is the best.

Hes an excellent instructor, and an all around nice guy. He keeps the mood light, its stressful but the stories are always a good laugh. You HAVE to study in this class, its hard especially the accelerated classes. Be sure this is something you really want, because youre going to be putting alot of time and money into this program!

The class is geared toward a career in Fire/EMS and future paramedics.If this is not what you're looking for I strongly suggest you take an ROP EMT course,where you're life will be much easier -but you wont learn much.Study hard,show up for class,ask questions,and take class-time seriously.Thank you Mr.Fried for the great experience.

Wealth of knowledge and keeps class fun. Very difficult course though. Take copious notes and plan on studying a ton. Rotates with other professors, but he's a really good guy who knows what he's talking about. Don't take this class unless you are planning on being involved in EMS, it's really hard for a filler class.

You'll be Rolling when Bruce starts his story-telling. You will study your a-- off for this class. Don't waste your time and money taking EMT or Paramedic courses if you are Lazy. You MUST make a B to pass-The Instructors don't want you in their ranks, if they don't trust you enough to save a life.

The course is challenging and will demand that you study! Completion is possible the first time. Bruce makes the class fun and interesting. He has a wealth of knowledge and incorporates it through stories and laughter.MAke sure you review your notes before each new day.Best place for future EMT
