Depends on the state .... most states want you to be an EMT-I which is intermediate .... in the state of Connecticut the EMT- I is allowed to set up IV's and draw blood ...... So I would suggest you check with your local state licensing agency.
It is an extension of the Medical Director of the EMS Agencies' license.
Well, it's not necessarily a requirement, but the reality of it is that you'll be expected to have one, especially when you're just starting off as an EMT-Basic.
It depends from state to state, but most requires you to work a full year as an EMT Basic before you can become an EMT Paramedic. You need to take the EMT Paramedic training and certification.

This differs from State-to-State, but becoming an EMT-Basic usually requires a high-school diploma and 120-150 hours of training. To be fully certified as an EMT-Basic (also known as EMT-1, EMT, etc.) you need to have completed those things, and passed a state-given or national test (NREMT test).
You ca obtain an EMT license through different schools. There are many different educational centers that offer the courses. They are a one year course.
An EMT license is basically a paramedic. They are first response units that get to a scene first to provide life saving care until they can get them to a hospital.
there is very little math as an EMT. Basic adding and subtracting until you get into medicine doses or counting bodies. I have never needed a calculator in 4 years.
The EMT-Basic test is given via a computer and is a Computer Adaptive Test (i.e., the test is adapted based on the student's aptitude). The number of questions on the EMT-Basic exam will range from 70 to 120 based on the EMT student's aptitude. You will be given a maximum of two hours to complete the EMT-Basic exam.
To get an EMT license in Michigan, you must meet the following crieria: -Be at least 18 -Complete a Michigan EMT course within the past 2 years -Be registered through the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT)
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.
EMT training courses prepare an individal to pass EMT accreditation exams in order to work as an EMT Basic or EMT Paramedic. Both provide emergency medical care to the injured or ill in a number of settings.
