About Your Diploma
If your goal has been to embark on a career in paramedic practice but don't have the right qualifications or are seeking a new career path, our Access to Higher Education Diploma (Paramedic Practice) at Academy Online Learning is the perfect route. This diploma is designed for individuals eager to start or advance in paramedic practice, with most students completing the flexible course within 8-10 months, though it has a one-year completion timeline.
Excellent Preparation for Paramedic Practice at University
This course is tailored for students who aim to pursue university studies in Paramedic Practice. Upon enrolment, specify whether you wish to focus on "paramedic practice" or "paramedic science" at university, and we will align your coursework to meet the specific unit requirements for that pathway. The course equips you with crucial knowledge and study skills through subjects like Research Skills, Behaviour and the Brain, and Genetic Inheritance, with an Individual Learning Plan to manage your deadlines and ensure consistent academic progress.
