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.
Approximately 10-20% of all fire departments across the country now require their fire applicants to become Paramedics even before they take the examination. Remember â you must first become an EMT before you can go on to become a Paramedic.
