    Hi I follow the emergency services topics quite closely and know that paramedic is moving to a 4 year degree course but that's where the info ends for me!

    I'm wondering does anyone know when it is being rolled out and if they have any links to a course lay out, entry qualifications, mature student option etc.

    I tried google but cant get anything definitive so hoping someone here could shed some light on it.

    Thanks

    I no the one in UCD was ment to be rolled out in September 2015 but I did hear that is put back till 2016 il stress that's what iv been told
    There is also one in UL I think there is one for current paramedics at the moment but there is supposed to be another one for the public so maybe try UCD or UL for more info I don't no much else really I haven't looked into it I would not be in a position to go back to college for 4 years I'm on the NAS student paramedic panel so am hoping to go that route so that's as much as I can tell you

    Four years funding myself and also college fees would be my main problem so that's why the NAS student paramedic route would be my only option but that thread D Trent linked and contacting those two colleges should answer most the questions you have

    If it's a 4 year Advanced Paramedicine course it would be worth it for anyone but if it's not AP, then go across the water and get the same qualification in 2 yrs

    DFB just ran a recruitment campaign already this year. No other fire service qualifies above EFR, very occasionally EMT.

    Not to Degree level, if that is what the original poster is looking for.
