Primary Care Paramedic Application

Thank you for your interest in our Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) program.

In high demand throughout British Columbia and across the country, PCPs serve as the backbone for both pre-hospital emergency care systems and private industry medical service providers.  Our program delivers prepared and confident new practitioners who are ready to safely deliver patient care from day one on the job. 

Columbia Paramedic Academy is an EMALB recognized training institution that prides itself on utilizing a student-centric approach from start to finish.  Curriculum design, instructor recruitment, tuition schedules, exam policies, and more are all built with the student experience first and foremost in mind.  EMALB recognized training institutions across the province are given flexibility in how they deliver their materials, and I believe this is where Columbia excels - providing supportive learning environments, an embracing of best practices in education and an involved, responsive management team are just some of the ways you can expect us to help you succeed.   

We look forward to welcoming you into our Primary Care Paramedic certificate program!

Application Process 

Applicants must submit their application through our Submittable portal and pay a non-refundable $85.00 application fee.  The email address used by the applicant to register for their Submittable account will be the primary method used for all communication, including any questions or issues concerning the initial application, supporting documents, and admission decision. 

Applications can be saved as information is entered, allowing applicants to leave and return to complete the balance of their application later. 

Initial applications are reviewed for completeness within 1 business day, at which time the applicant will be invited by email to provide the supporting documents required for consideration of their application. Applicants will be contacted if information is missing or incomplete, or when a decision on admission has been made. 

Columbia Paramedic Academy uses a 'first come, first served' approach that sees qualified applicants offered admission based on the date their supporting documents are submitted, rather than having applicants wait for a closing date and competing against others.  As such, it is important applicants provide their supporting documents as soon as possible.
