National Paramedic certification (NREMT)
Two years past EMT for about a third more pay. The certifying body publishes how many people hold it, so this is one of the few occupations where the number who trained can be set against the number employed.

As with EMT certification, no credible national cost figure exists. Paramedic programmes are run by community colleges, hospitals and fire services at prices they set individually, many students are sponsored by an employer, and federal programme-level data does not separate paramedic training from the wider allied-health code it sits in.
Typically one to two years beyond EMT certification, often as an associate degree, including a substantial supervised field and clinical component.
Certification runs two years, renewed by continuing education.
