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.
Often, students are required to complete one EMT training level to qualify for the subsequent level. It is possible to complete an accelerated training program in EMT-basic or first responder level in three weeks or fewer. Part-time students could take eight to eleven weeks to complete these programs.
