How long is the training before I can take the U.S. National Exam (NREMT-P)?

Training will start remote, in your home country, 3 months prior to arrival in the U.S.  Be prepared to meet 3 hours twice weekly.  You will be given study and test material, partake in lectures, read from the paramedic textbook and take weekly assessment exams.  Once in the U.S. you will be in-class for up to 7 weeks in additional to field time.

What is the cost to participate in the program?

The training program and visa legal fee's are paid for by your future employer.  Each employer will offer a relocation bonus of $3,000 (US) to assist with travel and housing in the beginning and $1,000 at the end of your 2 year contract. 

Once you start your in-class time, you will be paid while you complete the program.  All wages must meet the Labor Departments prevailing wage, which varies by county.  This ensures you are paid a wage that fits the cost of living in any given area.

What is the duration of the contract?

We place qualified applicants on a minimum two-year contracts. Three months of the training will take place in Australia, followed by 2-3 months in the U.S.

From there you will have the opportunity to work for a minimum of two years with the ability to extend.  At the end of your initial contract, the IMS team will assist you with either returning home or renewing your visa for an extended stay.
