If you google it you can find a pdf with all the salaries there.

Do you even get paid while training?

During training, new entrant Student Paramedics are paid point 1 of the scale for the entire duration of training (including intern year) (almost 2 years at point 1).

Ah, thanks for that. It was the LSI that was confusing me. So once you reach the max on the scale (year 8/9 if you include year 1 training)...you wait 3 more years for the next and final pay increase right ?
