How much did becoming an EMT/medic cost you?

EMT-B, Indiana University. ~$600

EMT-P, Community College in Iowa $4500 (employer paid)
 
EMT-B: 550ish (including the text)
EMT-P: 9000ish including books.

Costs for testing, etc. was included in tuition.
 
Wow, looks like everyone got off a lot more cheaply than I did!

$2500 Tuition (included uniform, book, background check, drug test, etc...)

$70 x2 (practical and written)

$lots (gas, etc)

I wouldn't trade it in for anything though, my school experience was phenomenal (have yet to take practicals/written). I'll be continuing on to medic at the same school as well.
 
~6000 from Basic to Paramedic.

Not including books, registry fees, clothing/stethoscope, background checks and drug screens.
 
Nashville area Comm College $1500 tuition/books/shots/clinical shirt/testing fees

pants, steth, boots, all seperate...Prob right under $2k for basic w/ IV cert , give or take.
 
I spent ~$4,000 taking classes, registration, study materials here in southern california.

<_<

For those going through/having gone through paramedic school I'm surprised I'm not seeing more costs like "my marriage" or "my friends and family". :P

I've lost some friends in the process for sure, but it's because they don't understand what a commitment Paramedic school is. Having said that, I've gained several very good friends through class. :cool:

I also agree, The friends and the "New Family" i have within the fire house and everything, i couldnt ask for much better group of people
 
After reading the responses thus far, I feel fortunate that I will not pay a dime. The VA is picking up the tab for my Paramedic Science degree. Also, the VA is paying me to go to school. :blush:
 
The whole cost turned around to be about $ 6500. This includes ACLS, PALS, ITLS and NRP. I am still thinking of pursuing further studies once I have enough funds for it.
 
Already answered for how much my basic has cost me. Going to school now to be a Medic.

So Far for my first semester ( 1 of 6 ):

Tuition : $3,800
Books : $800
Physicals/Background Check : $400.
Uniforms : $240
 
About 600 dollars, compared to the program I was going to take it:censored::censored::censored:8217;s much MUCH better. The program I was going to take at a local hospital was 1800 dollars for EMT-B. Still in the class by the way.

I Completed a Bachelor of Health Science (Paramedic) degree In brisbane Australia which qualifies me as an Advanced Care Paramedic with the Queensland Ambulance Service..

The degree was AU$24,500
probably $1000 for textbooks
$500 for health, fitness and criminal hx tests.

Not a cheap endeavour...
Plus QAS is not the highest paying ambulance services in australia...
