I took the course and passed' I also volunteered at our local station and would be on call all night with my mother and father who were also EMTBs. I never was able to get my license though as i moved at the end of January that year to Massachusetts. Mass has their own guidlines to follow, along with trainimg and licensing requirements and I would have had to retake the class in mass and pay another tuition fee and restart the entire program to be certified and licensed as a Mass EMT. I would have stayed and hotten my license in CT but it was a long commute for me at the time and I had only just turned 18 and was without a driving license at that time. If given the opportunity and funding, I would absolutely love to get into this field again.I was trained in everything (quite similar to lifeguarding actually) from patient assessmen, first aid/cpr, life saving techniques, dealing with critically ill or injured persons, heart attacks amd strokes, car accidens/head/neck trauma and bracing and moving a patient from specific locations with neck braces or backboards, childbirth, and properly transporting patients to the hospital,
