All paramedic training programs are not created equal. Pennsylvania College of Technology's Paramedic program is one of a few training institutions within Pennsylvania that is nationally accredited. National accreditation assures that the student is getting a quality education.
The course content for both the certificate and associate's degree exceeds all requirements of the national standard curriculum for Emergency Medical Technician - Paramedic, and provides an in-depth study of emergency medicine. Experienced full-time faculty and staff, low student-to-instructor ratios and a state-of-the-art facility ensure students get the most out of their educational experience.
