In Ontario, most College courses to become a Paramedic are 4 Semesters, 2 Semesters a year. Also, all Colleges I know of require you to maintain a passing average grade of 70% or more while you are the in the Paramedic Course.

In order to get into the course for Paramedicine, be prepared to study a lot, and apply yourself. You need very high marks to get in to most schools. Personally I had a 98% average when applying to the school of my choice (This is coming out of a College level General Education in Health Sciences), and I achieved a position on a wait list at position 48(Not really ideal).

Also, after you have finished the 2 years of required College time, you need to then apply (and pay) for the A-EMCA test. The test is a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care test that is comprised of approx. 360 multiple, multiple choice questions, in which you have 6 hours of time to complete.

In short, there is a good amount of schooling needed to become a Paramedic in Ontario. You need the drive, passion and dedication in order to succeed in becoming a Paramedic.
