Not ot old at all. Contact your local community college. Down here in FL, EMT school is a college semester long, but you will need to take an entrance exam. If no local Community Colleges are around, just ask one of your local EMT's. Good luck.

Never heard of that school. In Florida, at least at our local college you have to take an entrance test that, if my mind serves me correctly, is called FBAT....Florida Basic Abilities Test. Basically it wants to know if you have the cognitive skills to perform the job. This is in addition to a High School Diploma or GED, College application, FBI background/fingerprint fee and program application.

since your in the middle east and are returning home do you know anything about the EMS system in your home land? maybe you could call one of the fire dept.s there and they can actually point you in the right direction.

FYI, we have a guy well past 60 still driving an ambulance at our station... no such thing as "too old" in this profession!

EMTs that are older, more mature, and have more life experience are highly desirable.
