After 9 years in the field as both a Basic and a Paramedic, I am DEFINITELY a proponent of getting experience before taking the Paramedic class. The information taught in P school is WAY above what's taught in B school, and it's based on real-world experience. I'd definitely recommend at least 6 months to a year of experience on an ambulance as a basic before even attempting the Paramedic curriculum.
