Hi all.
I am new to this forum, and I am new to the whole EMT thing as well.
I am a junior in high school, and have about a year left before I graduate.
Im not planning on going to college to get a degree, but I am thinking about pursuing a career in Emergency medicine and Firefighting.
I just have a few questions. How long are the courses usually for becoming an EMT-B. Also, I am not the greatest at math, would that hurt me at EMT training?
My idea after high school is, get EMT-B certified, work on a BLS ambulance for a little bit, then apply for a Firefighting position.
What do you think? I know some departments require more than that, but with some of the research I did, I might be ok. But if you have any suggestions im all ears.
Basically Im just asking for some guidance and tips for becoming an EMT-B to Firefighter.
Thanks a lot everyone.
