2027 Hybrid Paramedic Cohort

The next Paramedic cohort will begin in January 2027 and is scheduled to complete the program in March 2028. Applications are currently being accepted. The application deadline is 8am on October 26, 2026.

The Hybrid Paramedic cohort combines face-to-face instruction with online coursework delivered through myBPCC (Canvas). Students will attend class primarily on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, with both days covering the same course content. This flexible format allows students to attend one class day per week and coordinate their schedule around work and other commitments.
