OUR TRAINING PROCESS
You will have 12 months to complete the training required to get promoted to a full EMS member. In those 12 months you will:
Be on-duty 32 hrs/month stationed at the squad, riding on the ambulance as a helping hand when calls come in. Only 16 hrs/month for Cadets (under 18) halved while in EMT class, 16 for adults, 8 for cadets. Shifts are 4, 8, 10, or 12 hrs.
Squad Training Modules
Train, Practice, and Test on 11 modules on-shift with your Crew Chief at a rate of:
2 mods/month for adults
1 during EMT class
1 mod/month for cadets
EMT class
A state-course, not in-house at the squad, but offered at locations throughout the state. ~240 hours of in-class time, usually 2 weekday nights and 1 weekend day. 14 hrs/week + 10-20 hrs of homework/week usually offered Fall (Sep-Dec), Spring (Feb-May), or Summer (Jun-Aug). Many of the squad training modules require you to learn the skills in EMT class first, so you want to take it as early as possible.
Must be completed within 9 months of joining to leave enough time to finish squad training afterwards.
In summary, this requires a monthly commitment for the whole 12 months (you may not take leave to study abroad, do an internship, etc.), and a heavy weekly commitment during EMT class.
