How will the course be set up to ensure my success?
During the 15-month program you will train in the classroom, in on-site labs, and also different offsite clinics. You will participate in approximately 12-16 weeks of clinical and practicum experience in offsite settings, to allow for demonstrating effective performance as a paramedic team member.
Integrated French Language
Students wishing to take this program who are not bilingual and want to achieve bilingual status will be required to enrol in this extended version of the Paramedic program. While covering all of the material within the base program, you will also be enrolled in five French language courses at Université de Moncton to be taken over your two years with us. You must achieve success in the language courses to be considered successful in the entire program.
Achieving language levels through Université de Moncton courses will progress the student towards achieving bilingual status, although that status is not guaranteed as each student is unique and may require further training.
