    It means that you already have to be a Paramedic and registered with the regulator (PHECC). The current recruitment scheme the ambulance service is running is not a training one. They're just offering jobs to Paramedics already in the country.

    To get a NQEMT-Paramedic, well, you have to get into the ambulance service as a trainee (maybe the next recruitment drive) or go abroad for a few years and train.
