Depends on how far you want to go, an EMT-B's can differ from state to state but in the state of Utah I had to do class hour time totaling 15 hours a week from August to November, in addition to that we had to do 20 hours of clinical time running with the other EMTs or paramedics or working in the hospital. Afterwards we were required to pass a written exam and a practical (doing 2 mock scenes of an accident). Then you can be hired on as an EMT-B with an ambulance company. EMT-I require more training and that's when you will learn to do endotrachial intubations, IVs and administer more of the complex drugs, read EKGs, along with other advanced life saving skills, That certification for me was far fewer hours and was only on Friday nights and Satuday mornings about 4 hours for each class period. But just be warned if you do the EMT-I you will have to stick needles into other people and have needles stuck into you, so if you don't like that stuff you're out of luck. And paramedic is the last one, they are an Associates degree, not sure what else they learn since I stopped at EMT-I and I'm happy enough at where I'm at since I'm a college student and working at the same time as an ER tech at my local hospital (which you can do, EMT-Is can work as OR techs, ER techs, Medical Assistants and of course your traditional EMT-I working with an ambulance crew)
