For a fraction of the cost, you can buy an EMT book (you’d have to read it all during the course anyway). Many include a skills DVD.
The real nitty gritty of the skills (i.e. traction splinting, long-board, KED’s, etc.) you will never need to know if you’re not part of an ambulance crew.
Also, take a CPR course (if you haven’t already).
You can download your local protocols (or national, depending on the state) for free on your states DOH website. (I know NYS has them)
If you need help for the bandaging and splinting, you can ask another female EMT (even hire her for a few $’s) or take a first-aid course.
You can take free online tests at most EMT book publishers’ websites.
You’ll have all the knowledge and skills of any EMT student.
