how long does it take from paremedic to Advanced paramedic

@fallion6355 27 дней назад

Not 100% sure, but I believe paramedic is a BSc course and Advanced para is MSc. so it's a post graduate study.

@@fallion6355 That sounds about right. I can only comment as an Australian paramedic, but I believe the British and Australian paramedic training structures emulate each other. Here it's 3 years of university, graduate with a Bachelor of Paramedicine then spend a year as an intern. Then you're a Registered Paramedic or Registered Advanced Care Paramedic (same skillset, different name depending on which state you're in). After 3 years as a Registered Paramedic, you can apply for the Intensive Care/MICA/Critical Care (again-same skillset, different wording) program. That's a 1-year course where you graduate with an MSc as you said. Then after a set time (usually two years) you can apply for the Flight Paramedic program. Both the Intensive Care and FP programs are highly competitive, even moreso than just applying for a position as a paramedic intern. So in a nutshell, from Year One studying paramedicine to FP is typically a minimum of ten years. They do look at years of service as part of your application to be a Critical Care and FP. Three workmates of mine went on to be Flight Paramedics. Two left after a couple of years, and returned to be op. supervisors, one's still flying after a decade.
