Can you give any advice in becoming a volunteer emt? I've wanted to do this, but have no idea how to start...

  Do you live in an area served by a volunteer agency? In my case, I'm actually a volunteer firefighter/EMT with my local fire department, which also runs the ambulance. The first step would simply be to call your local agency.

    Where I live it's all professionals. And from what I understand they aren't amenable to the idea of volunteer EMT, for their own reasons.

  You have to get licensed as an EMT, I took this course, it's very good: https://www.cpc.mednet.ucla.edu/cpc/course/emt https://www.cpc.mednet.ucla.edu/cpc/course/emt You can transfer licensure between states.

    A minor quibble... You're _certified_ as an EMT, not licensed.

      Yes, the class certifies you, so you can get your license. You have to be licensed to volunteer as an EMT, as I said.
