This program consists of 79 credits of coursework, completed over six semesters, leading to an Associate in Applied Science Degree. It follows the Paramedic National EMS Education Standards and meets all requirements for paramedic certification by the State of Delaware and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. The Delaware Tech Paramedic Program is accredited by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caahep.org\/\">Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs<\/a> upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP). Please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtcc.edu\/academics\/programs-study\/emergency-medical-technician-paramedic\">Program website<\/a> for more information. The employment outlook for Program graduates is very good. They often find employment with one of Delaware\u2019s Advanced Life Support Agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The State of Delaware requires all paramedics be affiliated with a Delaware approved ALS provider agency prior to beginning the state certification and licensure process.<\/strong> This process requires meeting all of the education requirements of the Office of Emergency Medical Services and the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation, Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline. All paramedics practicing in Delaware must hold and maintain the following certifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\n\n\n <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nremt.org\" title=\"National Registry of EMTs Paramedic\">National Registry of EMTs Paramedic<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n <li><a href=\"http:\/\/ahainstructornetwork.americanheart.org\/AHAECC\/classConnector.jsp?pid=ahaecc.classconnector.home\" title=\"Basic Cardiac Life Support - Healthcare Provider\">Basic Cardiac Life Support \u2013 Healthcare Provider<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heart.org\/HEARTORG\/CPRAndECC\/HealthcareTraining\/AdvancedCardiovascularLifeSupportACLS\/Advanced-Cardiovascular-Life-Support---Classroom_UCM_306643_Article.jsp\" title=\"Advanced Cardiac Life Support\">Advanced Cardiac Life Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heart.org\/HEARTORG\/CPRAndECC\/HealthcareTraining\/Pediatrics\/Pediatric-Advanced-Life-Support-PALS_UCM_303705_Article.jsp\" title=\"Pediatric Advance Life Support\">Pediatric Advanced Life Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.naemt.org\/education\/PHTLS\/phtls.aspx\" title=\"Prehospital Trauma Life Support\">Prehospital Trauma Life Support<\/a> <strong>OR<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/cms.itrauma.org\/CourseSearch.aspx\" title=\"International Trauma Life Support\">International Trauma Life Support (Replaces Basic Trauma Life Support)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The preceding links are provided to assist paramedics and paramedic candidates in locating the requirements and class locations for each level of certification.
