You have to be at least 16 to become a basic EMT and it is required to be a basic EMT before you become a paramedic. There is no age limit on the other end but a paramedic needs to be flexible and able to get up and down off the floor as well as lift a required amount of weight. As long as you can perform the required duties it doesn't matter how old you are as long as you are at least 16 when you take the basic EMT test.

∙ 12y agoIn the UK you have to be a minimum of 21 years old to be a paramedic, this is due to the need to be able to drive ambulances- minimum age for this size of vehicle. The university course in paramedic science is also three years so realistically after leaving school at 18 with A levels plus 3 years in uni.... 21 would be the most likely minimum age to be qualified.
