You can complete EMT lessons at your local hospital or a local college. You should contact both your local hospital or college to see if they offer the classes you want.
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.
EMT is not a root.

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.

disadvantage? In reference to...? EMT is basic life support. Paramedic is advanced life support. Without the equipment, the paramedic is no better than an EMT. As a matter of fact, a doctor without is no better than an EMT either. EMT is good training to have when all else is gone, no hospital, no equipment, EMT training is vital.
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.
