Becoming an EMT takes training and experience. EMTs must know how to assess an emergency scheme, control bleeding, apply splints, assist in childbirth, administer oxygen and certain medications and perform CPR/AED and other basic life support skills. This EMT basic course is the minimum level of training for all certified ambulance personnel.
