Where I live all Ambulances are crewed by 2 paramedics. Paramedic training is now a university degree course only and takes 3 years to complete.
You are talking about quarter hours whereas most colleges in the US use semester hours. There's a significant difference in the number of hours but no difference in the amount of time they take to get. 120 semester hours for a bachelor's degree. 180 quarter hours for a bachelor's degree. about 1,920 actual contact hours in a classroom for a bachelor's degree. [if college was a full-time job for 40 hours a week, the bachelor's degree would be only 1 year] No matter which way you slice the hours up - about 4 years for a bachelor's degree.
Usually it takes 4 years. I think roughly 120 semester hours are needed for a Bachelors, and a full load of â¦ classes is usually considered to be 15 hours. That's 30 per year, times 4 years, 120 hours. Of course, you can take fewer hours, and stretch it out, it's up to you.
