An EMT-Paramedic training program is required to attain the highest level of emergency medical technician training. Such programs generally require a high school diploma for entry. A variety of training programs are available through community colleges, hospitals and fire departments.
EMTs (also known as emergency medical technicians or, at advanced levels, paramedics) are the first responders on the scene of emergencies and accidents; however, not all EMTs have the same qualifications. There are three different levels of EMTs, each with specific training requirements and job responsibilities.
