Pre-Hospital Emergency Care - CertHE

This one-year course, run in partnership with the South Western Ambulance Service, provides a unique opportunity to enter the ambulance service and will help you gain access to a paramedic career pathway. You will be taught by both university academic staff and experienced paramedics from a range of clinical backgrounds, with teaching delivered both online and face-to-face at Wiltshire Air Ambulance base. This blended learning provides flexibility, allowing you to fit your learning around other responsibilities, such as caring duties. Our expert academics will support you throughout the course, and you will join a close-knit community of students. As well as your academic training, you will gain real-world experience of pre-hospital emergency care through placements with the South Western Ambulance Service in Bristol, Wiltshire, Somerset, or Dorset. To prepare you for employment within the ambulance service, you will also complete blue light training (the emergency driving qualification) as part of the course.
