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.
Becoming an emergency medical technician (EMT) or paramedic can take anywhere from one to three years, depending on a studentâs choice of career and educational path. EMT training focuses on life support techniques in first-response situations, including CPR, tourniquet application, and treatment of wounds.
