Whakawhiwhinga
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.
Kāore he whika utu whakamātautau.
Kāore he roa o te whakaakoranga kotahi - ka whakaritea e te āhua.
Kāore he wā whakamutu - kāore he tau tōtika hei whakamutu. He iti iho te utu.
Ki te kore e taea te whakamātautau i te whika i runga ake nei, kāore e whakaputaina e tātau he whakaaro, engari he whakataunga.
He aha te take kāore he tau tōtika i tēnei wāhi?
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.
He tokomaha nga tāngata e pupuri ana i tēnei, he tokomaha hoki e mahi ana i roto i te āpure.
Ko te tau e waiho ana te whika utu i waho
O te 150,588 people holding a current National Registry Paramedic certification i tatautia i roto 2026, Ko te pūkete mahi ā-rohe e whakawāteatia ana mō 100,610 Ka mahi i roto i nga mahi e hiahiatia ana mō — 66.8%. Ka noho 49,978 Kāore e whakaarotia e te kaipupuri.
Ko taua rerekētanga he tepe o runga, ehara i te mokatere kore mahi. Kāore te pupuri i tētahi tohu i te ōrite ki te rapu i tētahi mahi me ia. Kei roto i te rerekētanga ko ia katoa i neke ki te whakahaere, te whakaakoranga, te hoko, te arotakenga, he mahi pāhono rānei i ngā pūkete raraunga ā-rohe i raro i tētahi mahi rerekē; ko ia tangata i whakamutua, i mahue rānei i te whakawhiwhinga; ko ia tangata e mahi ana i te wā wātea, i te kaimahi, i te mahi takitahi rānei i tētahi āhuatanga kāore i te whiwhi i te uiuinga mahi; me te tangata katoa e pupuri ana hei aho tuarua ki tētahi atu mahi. Nā reira ko te rerekētanga ko te CEILING i te maha o ngā tāngata whakaakoranga kāore e mahi i tēnei āpure - he iti iho te tau tūturu, ā, kāore he tatau o tētahi tangata kāore i te mahi. Ko te mea e whakatū ana te takirua ko te rahi o te pūrere ko te tau utu i whakaputaina, ko te mea kāore he wāhi utu e whakaatu ana ki a koe.
Ko nga taha e rua he tau tūturu. Ko ngā kaipupuri i tētahi rā ki te mahi i tētahi wā — ko te momo ōrite o te nui, ko te take anake ka taea te wehe i ngā mea e rua.
Ko te mea kei roto i taua tatau: The unique number of individuals holding a current National Registry certification at Paramedic level, on the date shown. The dashboard updates daily. As with EMT certification, some states license paramedics without requiring it and some holders keep it without working in EMS.
Ko te kaituhi: people holding a current National Registry Paramedic certification = 150,588 (Standing count of people holding the credential, National Registry dashboard, retrieved 26 July 2026) · National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, National Registry Data Dashboard · kitenga
Fire-service paramedics are usually counted as firefighters in federal employment data rather than as paramedics, so a meaningful but unpublished share of the unaccounted-for holders are working in the field under another job title.
Ko te mea e whakaae ana ia kia mahia e koe

Ka pānui tēnei hei whakataurite ki tētahi mahi noa iho, ehara i te āhua o tōmu mahi. He aha taua raina taketake, me te mea e waiho ana i waho
