Important Things to Know
- You only need to submit the Request for Evaluation form once: when you want to schedule your first examination (written, practical or jurisprudence).
- You have 12 months from the date your certificate or transcript was issued to successfully pass all your EMA Licensing Board examinations and requirements in order to get your licence.
- All paramedic exams in B.C. are held in English. If English is not your first language, you must send a certificate showing successful completion of “English as a Second Language” program of study.
