How do you become a paramedic?

In: EMT and Paramedics [Edit categories]

Answer:

To become a paramedic means you can also have a lifetime of rewards that will follow. Its a job that you have to be very committed to as well as strong enough to be able to handle during a intense moment. First step you will need to take is to complete a CPR course to become an EMT. Next you have to take a collage course for your EMT-B certification. These are the basic classes and should be able to be completed within six months or so. Next you have to take your National Registry EMT-B exam and if you pass you can move up to intermediate or just go into paramedics.
