being an EMT or paramedic is actually a certification class. im an EMT basic. there are basics, intermediates and paramedic. you have to become a basic before doing the classes and exams for intermediate or paramedic. the classes are quite expensive…mine was 600 for the class and 200 in testing fees for just the basic but some places charge 1400. paramedic class and certification costs even more….both paramedic and intermediate requires ER/OR time in a hospital too…in my state you can be an EMT basic in high school . i know people who have done it but im not sure about VA. but i dont believe you can be a paramedic in high school?? i think you have to be 18 years old but i do know you need to have a liscense to be hired so you can drive the ambulance. many fire departments will actually pay for you to become the EMT and then paramedic if you join first.
you can’t. you have to have a high school diploma first. however, there are explorer programs and volunteer services you can work through while you are in high school. go to your local fire hall and ask them what kind of programs they offer. you can talk to your guidance counselor too. they will have suggestions as to what courses you should take in high school, such as extra math, science/chemistry, and first aid/health occupation courses. good luck.

As a freshman, I doubt you can become a paramedic – yet. In any state I have lived in – you must be at least 18. HOWEVER, go hang around the local FD. Maybe they have an Explorer program for high schoolers. Or volunteer to help out on drills, sweep the station, wash the trucks, etc. Firefighters are a close knit bunch – and they look out for their own. So, become one of their own!
umm…
Im from england so I dont know alot about education in America..but over here you need to go to university to get a paramedics degree, you cant do it in school.
