I seem to be getting alot of misinformation. I recently received my EMT-B certification and called FDNY to file an application over the phone and this woman told me that I have to take the civil service exam.
Wasn't there an EMT Academy for NYC citizens who werent EMTs? What happened to that?
What about us who have EMT-B cards? Couldn't we just apply for it and go thru the long arduous process of getting hired by the city? We now have to take the civil service exam too?
I had also heard that if there's up to 200 applicants at any given time, they'll contact those 200 and schedule them for an exam (what exam???)
Someone please explain (if it doesn't confuse you too!)
