Train to be a paramedic?

    Hi All,

    Apologies for going off-topic, but a friend of mine is hoping to train to be a Paramedic, but hasn't a clue on where to start.
    I would like to help him, but he seems to think that he needs some form of pull withing the HSE to have any chance of getting in.
    Can anyone advise where he can send his application?
    Does he need to complete a course in advance, and if so, which course is the most recognised, and where can this be completed?
    He is willing to re-locate to anywhere in Ireland, but just needs to be pointed in the right direction. Apparently there are a lot of courses available withing Ireland, but they are not recognised by the HSE?

    Any help but would much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    This question has been answered numerous times, see here and the recruitment forum for info. The other commercial courses offered within Ireland are EMT courses, and not Paramedic courses, and are therefore not the same thing.

    you friend will have to be over 21, hold a full and clean c1 and d1 driving licence(full b is a given also) and just sit around and wait til they recruit next, could be weeks or it could be years.

    they wont need to relocate initially unless they lives hours from the training collage.
