Texas EMS School’s online Paramedic program will prepare you for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician’s Paramedic exam and an exciting career as a Paramedic.
The Paramedic program consists of four components – online coursework, hands-on Skills Labs, Clinical & Field Experiences, and a Capstone Field Internship.
Online Coursework
The Texas EMS School online learning environment emphasizes content, not class time. The Paramedic program is developed using adaptive learning technologies that assess what you already know and only provide homework assignments for areas in which you are struggling. That means that you can move forward as you master concepts and spend more time on content that addresses your weaknesses.
The online coursework for the Paramedic program should be completed within 16 months, however many students complete the work in a shorter period of time. All components of the program – including coursework, hands-on skills labs, clinical & field experiences, and capstone internship – must be completed within 18 months.
If you have a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with internet access, you have the basic tools you need to get started.
