What Do You Learn To Be A Paramedic. Once you advance far enough in the paramedic training process, take college courses such as biology and anatomy. Apply directly to the ambulance service as a trainee paramedic (known as student paramedic), and study while you work.

Paramedics have advanced driving skills that allow them to claim exemptions from certain road traffic legislation whilst driving to the location of a 999 call made by the public. Paramedics must have a high school degree so it is essential that the student complete their basic education with a g.p.a of at least 2.0. As a paramedic student, your coursework includes topics like pharmacology and toxicology.
