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.
When taking a patient to a hospital, one EMT or paramedic may drive the ambulance while another monitors the patient's vital signs and gives additional care. Some paramedics work as part of a helicopter's flight crew to transport critically ill or injured patients to a hospital.
