Right on...keep me posted and I'll let you know if/when I make any positive progress on my end in the mean time : ) I heard somewhere that San Diego has a great service to work for. L.A. and O.C. - not so much! Unless you move into fire.

I'm not certain he/she would know how to transfer the other way around, but it sure doesn't hurt to ask - Thank you! I've just been going around in circles not receiving any definite direction. It seems no one at the higher levels knows what to do.

I trained as an EMT-A in Alberta. I recently moved to SoCal for my spouses' job.

Is there anyone out there who was trained and certified in Canada as an EMT-A, then was able to secure a license and certification in California to work/upgrade (without having to retake the whole course)? I've been having no luck with any EMS bodies (NREMT, CA State EMS and O.C. EMS specifically) in being permitted to challenge an exam or prove my credentials as equal or above local training programs here. Has anybody been successful getting around this?
