I’ve really already explained this. First you get a certification. Then you take a licensing EXAM. So yes I still have to take an exam to get licensed. My EMR certification alone does qualify me for certain jobs and positions but simply being a certified EMR really means nothing, which I have...

I’ve explained to you the process of getting a license. Not sure what else you want here, guy. I guess you’re trying to get me in some pedantic word trap where I said I was a “certified” EMR. Technically, where I’m from, this is true. I’ve also detailed the vast difference between being...

There are a number of institutions that will certify you but the JIBC, which I attended, is really the only one worth attending. They have a monopoly on the education for paramedics in BC. After you pass the course they will send your certification to the Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing...

Cprted- I know that you think what you said was true, and I’m sure you felt great when you were typing it, but you’re off the mark. Does BC Ambulances directly train or run training programs? No. Does BCA work hand in hand with the one accredited institution (Justice Institute Of British...

I don’t remember ever describing myself as a paramedic. “I’m from British Columbia, and I’m currently training to become an EMR (lowest level of paramedic in BC, so low people from other states and provinces probably wouldn’t consider you a paramedic)” Said that right away in my first post on...

I am certified at the EMR level, but I don’t see the point in ad hominems. It’s really not that confusing. Each level follows their scope of practice. The PCP level is vastly superior in scope compared the EMR level. The difference between a PCP and an EMR is huge. PCP would be considered the...

It’s not my use of the word, it’s the province of British Columbia’s. Either way I’m just trying to help the op out with some useful info. Not looking to argue about who is and isn't paramedic.

Yes. 3 week training course to get certified as an emr. After you get certified you can take the licensing exams whenever you think you’re ready. If you pass you can then take your medical license and work as a paramedic in various avenues

I’m seeing a lot of people arguing about degrees on here, and whether or not they’re necessary in order to work in Canada. Obviously the more education you have the better, but it’s really not a prerequisite where I’m from. In BC if you want to become a paramedic it’s only a 3 week course. BC...

I’m from British Columbia, and I’m currently training to become an EMR (lowest level of paramedic in BC, so low people from other states and provinces probably wouldn’t consider you a paramedic) so I can give you a decent rundown about what it takes to get hired in BC, but the process is...
