I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gerber Ambulance (Torrance, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Pretty simple you will sit in a room and wait for the hiring coordinator to come in and hand you a packet. In the packet you will have a pretest in which will ask you basic EMT Questions. If you were to pass this stage and score adequate on the test you will have live skills training. These include working the C-Collar, proper lifting techniques as well as transferring the patient from the gurney.
