To become an EMT in Pennsylvania, applicants must have a high school diploma or GED and be at least 18 years old by the first day of class. They must complete a Pennsylvania-recognized EMT educational program that follows the National EMS Education Standards, including at least 10 patient contacts or assessments in hospital, specialty, or ambulance settings. A current CPR certification, such as BLS, is required and must meet Department of Health standards. Candidates are also required to pass both a written (cognitive) exam and a practical (psychomotor) skills exam. In addition, they must pass a criminal background check, which typically includes Pennsylvania State Police records and a Child Abuse History clearance, with no felony convictions permitted.
