It is not federal emergency management agency! It is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
A lot of colleges offer EMT certification courses. One of the best ways to know how to get trained in your area is to contacts the local EMS agency in your town.
The best and quickest way to find out if you are eligible for licensure would be to call or contact the NY state agency that licenses EMT's and Paramedics, and ask.
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.
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.
You will have to contact the state agency that licenses and controls that occupation for specific information. There is nothing disclosed as to WHAT kind of felony offense you were convicted of and they may grant exceptions. HOWEVER - if other states are any indication, the answer is, 'probably not.' In the course of their job performance and activities EMT's have access to narcotics and other controlled drugs and the likelihood of a felon being granted a license to practice that gives them access to these is highly doubtful. Call the Illinoisstate licensing agency and ask.

EMT training courses prepare an individal to pass EMT accreditation exams in order to work as an EMT Basic or EMT Paramedic. Both provide emergency medical care to the injured or ill in a number of settings.
Answer Most community colleges, or state classes. Just call a EMS agency and ask them for information. ANY community college should have these classes readily available to you.
You should check with the state licensing agency, but the answer is probably NOT, because such a certification gives the bearer of it access to drugs and controlled substances in the performance of their necessary duties.

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.
