Ambulance Driver Programs. Both hospitals and community colleges offer training in ambulance driving and emergency medical technician duties. EMT training is commonly packaged with ambulance driver training into seamless programs that take place full-time during weekdays or weekends or part-time in the evenings.
Although an EMR is not able to be the primary care giver on an ambulance, their help as a third caregiver is always greatly appreciated by the ambulance crew. The EMT course requires approximately 150-200 hours of instruction that includes the knowledge and skills required to provide basic prehospital emergency care.
