Diploma in Paramedic

The Diploma in Paramedic at Lambton College's Sarnia campus is a two-year college diploma that gives you a strong, career-focused, hands-on education in this field.

You will train for front-line emergency medical care — anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, medical and trauma emergencies, pharmacology and ambulance operations — with extensive hands-on simulation and clinical/field placements. The program prepares graduates to pursue paramedic certification and licensing. Graduates work in emergency medical services and patient care, a vital, in-demand field.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Lambton College's Sarnia campus in Ontario — an affordable college in Canada's industrial heartland. This program is on Lambton's official PGWP-Ready list (CIP 51.0904), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; the final decision always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Primary Care Paramedic, Emergency Medical Responder and Ambulance/EMS Worker, leaving with practical, hands-on skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond technical training, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
