Figures and opinions and stats vary for all the countries with Denmark ranked 1st, 2nd(the stats you looked at most likely) or 4th just to name a few. Feel free to split hairs with another search if you want. The gist is these countries are expensive as hell. And of course they have a lot...

Continental Europes 45-60% income tax rates are what pays for this stuff. Not a misprint, In Denmark for example at the top tax bracket you are losing around 60c in the dollar to the tax man. I'd take lower taxes and a community college/on-the-job trained paramedic any day thanks.

Go overseas. Africa as an example will take an EMT-I as a volunteer in about any of its 50 countries. Meet the local expats in paid work, network and hey presto score a gig somewhere. Worst case you come back without a job but great experience and stories for the grandkids. Its the way we...

Always an option to crack the market is volunteering first in the 3rd world, esp places like Africa.Then use that to network and get experience moving into paid contract work. Working in Africa there is usually an Ex-pat network of volunteers, UN contractors, mercs, scientists, mining groups you...

And furthermore regards any credit I was referring to the EMT-P course the AREMT runs. Not the act of 'AREMT registration' itself. That 'registration' is just membership with a non-government org. It can't authorise practice or licensure in its own country and so its very unlikely to have...

'Accepted as a route' in this case usually means some credit is granted for a reciprocal study application. Its not remotely close enough to get you working in the UK by itself. Serious training or UNI time must follow. The list of courses accepted standalone by the HPC are here...

Hi I am after info from anyone who has taken a course with Percomonline. I saw a post of yours but wasn't sure if you said it was with percom. Thanks if you have any opinions to share about these guys.

That's 1.5 million NZ though remember :D

Dons kevlar helmet and Nomex suit, steps onto forum and asks... Any of the major online providers for EMT-P (percom, TD or others) lead or link to any institutions for credit, like for an AAS etc?

I'm still lol' ing at all the mystery and explanations and hopes and fears surrounding this thing. Guys the only methodology to it is it makes the NREMT $70 every time it fails people, and with 6 possible retests they are obviously happy for people to invest in the future of the NREMT as much...

i just find it so bizarre this whole lottery atmosphere and convention of fear around what is really a low level of industry assessement. You yanks really are being sold out cheaply with this second rate assessment tool. A human marked exam, with both essay, short answers etc. 1.Works...

Because the randomness and adaptiveness of these tests is what makes them a great sell to underfunded orgs who can't afford human testmarking staff. In short, they stink. Adaptive tests are actually an ancient 1950's concept where they got a guy in a glass window switching questions on the...

Another angle, inexpensive, increases odds greatly, can be learnt from home(initially) Langauges... Options- Dari/Farsi(or persian as both are generally known) for Afghanistan. Arabic(usually Egyptian or Saudi dialect is best) for the middle east, north Africa. French for a lot of Africa...

Further to that, more contractors without medical care now. The US have their turn running the multinational hospital on one of the biggest bases and have denied access for all except military staff/their own contractors. They will handle life threats for contractors but nothing else. Some...

didn't offend me, I have been with groups requiring their own outfitting also. They hire three tiers of security- expat-3, tcn and locals at the bottom but 1 level of medical kit, body armour, etc for everyone. You want something better you buy it. The idea of an enforced suitable standard of...

If he is the only guy around or you have the choice of say a guy who did first aid or the 3 month course guy, do you still 'not want to be the subject of the 3 month guys OJT"?

In theory and writing. In practice the requirements to have the role 1 ready can be delayed by various means.....by a few years or so ;)

One of the big differences due to population is value of the dollar. USD- $1 AUS .83c NZ .68c And both the AUS and NZ dollar have slipped down to 50c to the USD when things are tough, which must hurt the standard of living as commodities are also a little more expensive there being...

Ak back at a FOB now, but thanks for offer. They still got Timmies at KAF? I thought some general closed down half the boardwalk. :glare:

Also will add the US govt departments and major companies are the best paying, and can add a grand or few to the above figures depending on who it is. The Euro/canuck/Uk companies are generally a bit less. Also there are quite a few afghan owned companies getting huge. Some Afghan bigwig and...
