The best way to become an EMT is to begin with researching First Aid courses locally available to you. Then, begin researching EMT, ambulance technician or paramedic programs at colleges near you and apply when you are ready and have the proper pre-requisites!

It usually take a couple of years to become a certified EMT but it depends on what program you go through. Some online courses are accelerated and can be completed in a lot less time. You should decided what program is best for you, whether it be on campus or online and then check out their actual website. It is an excellent career choice.
