Paramedical Staff: Training
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of introducing transitional financial support for people to train as paramedics under the Plan 2 university-only model, in the context of the availability of apprenticeship pathways for paramedics.
- Answer
-
There are different routes to becoming a paramedic, including traditional full-time university study and apprenticeship pathways.
Students undertaking traditional higher education routes to becoming a paramedic, such as on their first degree-level course can generally access student finance for their paramedic studies.
Plan 5 loan terms and conditions apply to students starting eligible courses from 1 August 2023, and there are no plans to introduce differential terms for paramedic students.
