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.
Bachelorâs degree programs range between 120 credit hours and 150 credit hours. Depending on the credit hours required, it can take 4 to 5 years, on a full-time basis, to earn your undergraduate degree.he average full-time student will earn their Masterâs degree in 1.5 to 2 years, but some students take longer due to their schedule restrictions. If you consider the time it takes to earn a Bachelorâs, you will spend between 5 and 7 years in college and graduate school to earn your degree.
