Why Sweden?

Why Sweden?

What education do you have now?  I think you would be better served by getting educated in Sweden if that's where you want to move.  I'm not sure of their education requirements but I would think they would require a longer education period that what we have here.  Would hate for you to get your paramedic here and then Sweden come back and say "Sorry Charlie, you don't have enough education so you need to start over"  

Here are some helpful links that were very very easy to find if you used Dr. Google. 

https://www.thelocal.se/discuss/index.php?showtopic=11839?showtopic=11839  This site says you ahve to get a nursing program done first and then add a year of paramedic on top of it.

And if you think you are going to get a free educaiton in Sweden, according to my understanding, you have to be a citizen of Sweden to get the free schooling.  I could be wrong but I'm probably not according to a couple of websites I visited.  14K for a years program if what I'm seeing.  but again, I could be wrong.  

 

So why Sweden?
