Paramedic degree

mojopin10

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

Cheers for the reply appreciate it. Four years would be rank quite frankly but just looking for all the info before I make a decision!

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

Hi guys I'm a first year in the University of Greenwich, I moved across in September to do the BSC Hons Paramedic Science London and would highly recommend it.

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.
