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.
Because they're first responders, ambulance drivers must be well trained and be able to handle high-pressure medical situations. Ambulance driver EMTs provide emergency care at the basic life support level, including CPR and first aid; it's common for driver EMTs to go on to become advanced or paramedic-level EMTs.
