| Posted 6 months ago Hello, Its great that you would want to get in a field like those. First I would say that you should find out what schools around you might offer those type of programs. Normaly most tech schools offer the classes. Then you would maybe want to volunteer with a department to see if you like it also. Then once all that is done be prepared to give up a lot of time. When I was in school thats all I could concentrate on, but in the end it all pays off. If it get overwhelming just step back and take a breath. Most schools offer the EMT class where you can either become an EMT-B (basic) or an EMT-I (intermediate) after those then you can go into the Paramedic courses. i hope this helps you some. Good luck with everything.
