Lustalbert Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 For Columbus Division of Fire, this is what it states on thier website: "How much training does a paramedic have? Firefighters spend approximately nine months in the classroom in order to attain the required 800 hrs. of training to become a paramedic. Paramedics also must receive 30 hrs. per year continuing education." Other fire companies have thier own requirements, I would suggest actually calling some of the places you are looking to go to, and get it straight from them.
