How long is an EMT training course?

Answer 1

Depending on how involved the course is and how effective your teacher is, you can expect a single semester of college to become an EMT-Basic. Classes for EMT-Paramedics can take longer, from 1 to 3 years of training and precepting. Check local hospitals, fire departments, police departments, and schools to see what course lengths are offered.

Answer 2

EMT, emergency medical technician, requires individuals to go to school anywhere from an accelerated 3 week course to as long as two years. The length of the class depends upon what level of certification you are interested in.

Answer 3

EMT training schedules will vary from two to six months, depending on the number of hours available each week. Some programs are set up for after work, to accommodate those with jobs. Other programs will run all day and be shorter in length. These are available for those able to attend without interference from outside jobs or family.

Answer 4

3 to 8 months depending on what program you go to and what state you live in. Ask your state dept of health or some local EMTs and they will tell you all you need to know.

Answer 5

It depends on what state you live in. You can check out your local community college or fire station for more information.
