Absolutely nothing, the Diploma in Ambulance Practice and Paramedic course are free.

The BHSc (Paramedic) runs about $15-17,000

I think my EMTB course cost around 100.00. That was back in the 80's.

I took mine over 10 years ago at about 1200-1500. at a comm college. As far as FL goes, you have to pay for everything out of pocket, unless you have a department sponsoring you.

About 300 w/ book. No uniforms since we did no clinicals.

In my county it's $55 if the volunteer department pays for you, about $800 if you or your employer pays.

The critical care class is $125 for volunteer departments and $1,400 for paid.

Medic classes run about $5,000. My fire department will pay you 1/2 of the tuition upon graduation. I know other departments in my area won't pay anything.

This is why I'm glad I'm in an area where volunteers are not prevalent. I would hate to have to pay many times more just because my time is valuable and I should be compensated for it.

Nothing for both my basic and intermediate. County paid for is through the FD. I am sooooo glad.

A frickin fortune!

Tuition was just under $1400 at the local community college.

And then...textbooks, physical, immunizations, uniforms, gear (steth, sphygmo,, etc.).

All together, I'm sure I'm into this for at least $2000. :(

Free twice. The first time my volly dept paid the bill. The second time the Army paid the bill. Hopefully I will also get the army to pay for my paramedic and maybe one day PA school.

EMR course is 1500 dollars and our Primary Care Paramedic course was 5000 dollars with books, uniform, and tuition, but not it is just under 10,000. Advance Care Paramedic is I think close to 20,000 which is a two year program.
