Depending on where you live/work, you have to pass National Registry and after that, do what ever is required to become licensed in that state. Most states, it's a matter of paperwork and some money. Others, it's another test. And lots of employers will give a written test on the day of your interview. You can't just pass the classes and be an EMT.

What is the difference between an emt and an emt b?

EMT, or Emergency Medical Technician, is the blanket term. There are several levels of EMTs. The nationally accepted levels are as follows: EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate (85), EMT-Basic Advanced, EMT-Intermediate (99), EMT-Paramedic. You often hear about "Paramedics" as though everyone on an ambulance is a Paramedic, but in reality, EMT-Bs are the most common responders. EMT's will respond out of a station or a fire department, and they typically cover a much smaller area. EMT-Paramedics might respond to more rural areas from farther away, depending on the local and financial availability of Paramedics within an area.
