We at Emergency Services Training Institute are currently in the process of developing a Paramedic course program. The demand to have Private Paramedic training in Ireland is quite high. No private PHECC recognised institution is yet able to provide this level of training and no public run PHECC recognised institution is currently running this level of training for the public.

We are currently assessing issues relating to the running criteria of this course and hope to have a solution this year.

Entry criteria onto any prospective Paramedic course which we will run will include the following:
Qualification at NQEMT-EMT level
Hep B injections up to date
Garda vetting clearence
Full drivers licence for a car
Suitability based interview
2 checkable written references
Full payment of deposit prior to course commencement

Our course will have 3 phases of progression
Phase 1 will entail a 10 week full time training period, Paramedic level MCQs and OSCEs.
Phase 2 may contain local and foreign clinical undergraduate internships, approx 560 hours, and a 30 hour PHTLS or ITLS course
Phase 3 may contain local and foreign clinical postgraduate internships of approx 2100 hours followed by Paramedic level SAQs and more OSCEs.

This course is for the determined, focused and hard working student.

When we get accreditation for our Paramedic course, it is our intension to train 24 persons per class, starting a new phase 1 group every 6 to 8 months
