Thanks. I think I'll phone BCAS and find out.

Hey I'm Reina, an aspiring EMT! New the boards.. I don't know if I will post very much but I'll be reading.

Iceland is cool! Welcome to the board.

Hi there. In a few years I'm planning on going to SAIT and complete the EMT program there. I will have completed the 15-day EMR course in Kelowna, BC, which is only a 1-1/2 hour drive from home. I have looked into the prerequisites which include Language Arts 30-1, Biology 30-1, and Applied Math 11. Since I finished Highschool in BC after moving from Alberta, I do have the same levels of prerequisites, BC-style.

My question is, do you think that I will be just as easily hired in Kamloops if I have the EMT certification from SAIT then as if I had it from JIBC or a school in BC? My reason for wanting to go to Calgary for it is because I have a relative that is letting me stay there for the 10 month period. The boards on campus in Kelowna are at least 3 grande and I'd rather not spend that much extra. Is there a difference between certifications in each province?

Thanks.

Reina
