Attending a paramedic school is the best way to start or further your career as a paramedic. Paramedic schools offer basic and intermediate training, which cover similar material and skills. Intermediate training requires more hours than basic training. Training includes bandaging, splinting, airway management and administering therapeutic medicine. Paramedic schools require a mix of classroom learning and field training. Field training will put students in real life situations to prepare them for daily emergencies.
