An EMT and paramedic are two different professions. But generally paramedic schools require that person be EMT certified before they enter the paramedic program. An emergency medical technician, or EMT, is generally a 3 to 6 month training program which teaches the basics of life support/first aid. In this training CPR is taught, as are first aid skills and emergency vehicle operation (EVOC) training. Once the EMT is fully trained and certified, they can enter the paramedic program, which is a more advanced two-year program that teaches skills of field medicine, advanced life-support, and certain medical procedures that are performed by paramedics, such as endotracheal tubing, intra-osseous injections, performing tracheotomy, and intravenous cannulation: skills that are not taught during EMT training.
