An EMT-Paramedic training program is required to attain the highest level of emergency medical technician training. Such programs generally require a high school diploma for entry. A variety of training programs are available through community colleges, hospitals and fire departments.
There are four levels of EMT, all with different levels of training. EMTs, or Emergency Medical Technicians, respond to health emergencies that take place away from a hospital. Paramedics have a higher level of certification than EMTs. EMTs may drive ambulances to the scene of an accident.
