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.
Employers. In 2011, almost half of all 229,340 EMTs worked for ambulance services where they made $14.90 per hour. More than 30 percent were in local government, averaging a mean $18.46 per hour. The highest wages were in support activities for mining at a mean $28.74 per hour per year. To make these amounts, EMTs need to go through a formal post-secondary training program that is divided into basic, intermediate or advanced levels. Separate training and licensing is also needed to drive an ambulance.
