Top Reasons to Choose Ontario Paramedic Academy  

Approved by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care

Our paramedic program educates students according to the curriculum approved by the ministry.

As a private career college, we follow the ministry approved curriculum; however, we expedite the study schedule without any breaks, which helps students complete the program within 60 weeks and get ready to take the certification exam – A-EMCA.   

Preparation for the Certification

In Ontario, to become a primary care paramedic, students have to take the provincial exam – Advanced Emergency Medical Care Assistant (AEMCA). This one-day rigorous exam tests students on their knowledge of Basic Life Support Patient Care Standards, Advanced Life Support Patient Care Standards and the Pre-hospital Care Syllabus.   

Our students are prepared with mock tests in all the related modules and practical aspects to thoroughly understand the concepts. An exceptional score of our students in AEMCA sets us apart.
