Many of our teaching staff are registered paramedics who still work in practice, providing invaluable professional insight and expertise. Our state-of-the-art facilities include a realistic clinical suite which allows you to build your skills before using them in real-life situations, on placement with the NHS and the Welsh Ambulance Service. Half of your course will be spent on placements throughout Wales, which will give you the practical skills you need to begin your career. The course is challenging, as it should be, as the responsibilities of a paramedic are great. I enjoyed the fact that the course pushed me, developed me and provided the core skills needed for the job.
