Ubufakazi
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.
Akukho manani entengo aqinisekisiwe.
Akukho sikhathi sokuzivocavoca esifanayo — simiswa isimo ngasinye.
Akukho sikhathi sokukhokha emuva — akukho zindleko ezizokhokhwa emuva. Ipremiyamu ingaphansi.
Uma akukho sithombe esiphezulu esingaqinisekiswa sishicilela lutho ngaphandle kokulinganisa.
Kungani asikho isilinganiso semali lapha
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.

Ibanga liqukethe wonke umuntu osuka ku-management, ukuqeqesha, ukuthengisa, ukuhlola noma umsebenzi ophathelene nedatha yezwe efile ngaphansi komsebenzi ohlukile; wonke umuntu osuka noma washiya ngaphandle kokunikela igunya; wonke umuntu osebenza isikhathi esincane, inhlangano noma osebenza ngokwakhe ngendlela ucwaningo lomsebenzi alutholakali; futhi wonke umuntu ogcina njengentambo yesithathu kusinye umsebenzi. Ngakho ibanga liyi-CEILING mayelana nokuthi abantu abaningi abaqeqeshiwe abasebenzanga kule ndawo — isithombe sangempela siphansi, futhi akuyona ukubala kwanoma ngubani ongekho emisebenzini. Okuthi iqembu liyibeke yisayizi ye-pool isithombe semali esishicilelwe sikhala, okuyinto engakhokhwa iwebhusayithi ibonisa wena.
Izingxenye ezimbili zihlala zibala. Abanikazi ngesonto elilodwa elingasebenzi ngesikhathi - uhlobo olufanayo lobukhulu, okuyinto isizathu kuphela ezimbini zingahlukaniswa ngaso sonke isikhathi.
