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.
Most fire departments provide Emergency Medical Services (EMS). So, not only do you have to be a firefighter, you may also need to have some EMS certifications. These typically include two types of certifications. One is emergency medical technician (EMT) and the other is a paramedic (EMTP).
