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.
A completed course is a prerequisite for sitting for the EMT certification exam, which will qualify incoming EMTs for entry level work. In some states, there are multiple levels of EMT training including EMT-1 (also referred to as EMT Basics) and EMT Intermediates, followed by Paramedics.
