Ambulance Driver Programs. Both hospitals and community colleges offer training in ambulance driving and emergency medical technician duties. EMT training is commonly packaged with ambulance driver training into seamless programs that take place full-time during weekdays or weekends or part-time in the evenings.
The EMT-Basic represents the first component of the emergency medical technician system. An EMT trained at this level is prepared to care for patients at the scene of an accident and while transporting patients by ambulance to the hospital under medical direction. The EMT-Basic has the emergency skills to assess a patient's condition and manage respiratory, cardiac, and trauma emergencies.
