Universal Careers offers hybrid paramedic program

Universal Careers offers hybrid paramedic program

EMTs wishing to advance their careers may do so through Universal Careers new hybrid program.

Universal Careers realizes that not all students are alike. Some learn better through online classes and others in traditional live coursework. A combination of the two often provides the best punch for many students.

This is the thinking behind UC's hybrid paramedic program. The course, which begins February 3, 2011, offers EMTs the chance to certify as paramedics through both online and live classes.

“One of the strengths of Universal Careers is its hands-on intensive training,” said Jack Peterson, career development for UC. “But the busy schedules of EMS professionals make it more difficult to get full hands-on work. A hybrid program makes more sense from a time and a cost point of view for those wishing to advance their careers.”
