Paramedic

Bellingham Technical College ETPL
This program is intended to train full-time firefighter/EMTs who are assigned to ALS ambulances within Whatcom County as well as members of other partnering agencies within the North Region counties meeting the entrance requirements. Students are sponsored in the program by their employer(s) and as such are subject to the rights and responsibilities of their employment. (See the Washington State Amended National Standard Curriculum Paramedic for a Functional Job Analysis in accord with ADA regulations). The Paramedic Training program is operated by Bellingham Technical College (BTC). The City of Bellingham operating as Bellingham Medic One (BMO) has been acting as a partner in the development and instructional support. While BTC operates the program, BMO and the Whatcom County Technical Advisory Board provide significant input. BTC retains overall program accreditation and administration per requirements. Note: BTC has not made a determination that the Paramedic curriculum meets educational requirements for licensure/certification outside of Washington State. We encourage students who plan to work out-of-state to check relevant local licensure/certification requirements.
