text: are there any emt/paramedic "on the job training" programs available in the dallas/arlington tx area? my daughter is a single mom and has to work.  she has always wanted to be a paramedic, but can't afford to quit her job and go to school.  i have heard that some places offer on-the-job training in some areas.  she lives near arlington, tx. yes she can try to go with the fire explorer post, i did and it was great training.
