Advancement Prospects
With experience, EMTs can gain more responsibility while retaining the same job. However, more significant advancement is possible if you move up through the progression of ratings recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. These ratings acknowledge increasing qualifications, making higher paying jobs and more responsibility easier to obtain.
