The purpose of a boycott is to inflict some economic loss on the target, or to indicate a moral outrage, to try to compel the target to alter an objectionable behavior. Sometimes, a boycott can be a form of consumer activism, sometimes called moral purchasing.
EMTs usually complete a course such as UCLA's EMT course that is about 120-150 hours in length. Paramedic courses can be between 1,200 to 1,800 hours. EMT and paramedic courses consist of lectures, hands-on skills training, and clinical and/or field internships.
In New Jersey, the state in which I instruct, the EMT training for the basic course is considered a 4 credit college course and several universities will give credit for courses taken outside their walls. If you have never been to college be prepared to do a lot of reading and to spend a great deal of time in class.
