Even
the services that say they require only 3 years, often find such a response to
openings they typically can be choosy...I would say at least 5 years plus
other resume enhancing credentials as a minimum. At least for an
established service. I don't know if CAMTS has any position on
this.

You are looking at at least five years ground 911
time. I have heard of some programs that only require 3, but
most require at least 5 and are extremely competitive. Get all
the experience you can, in a variety of settings, if possible and
get the "alphabet soup" after your name, i.e. ACLS, PHTLS,
PALS, etc. and consider becoming an instructor/trainer at your service
or for some of the classes you enjoy.
Good luck,

average how many years ground experience is necessary to become prepared

competitive market and would like to know realistically when I can
expect to
be truly considered.
