Blimey, is that what they are calling them now - "Student Paramedics"? I started out as a "Trainee Qualified Ambulance Technician". What a title! But forget these titles, it is much more common to be referred to as an "80%er", (reference the low wage), or a "Uni. Bod". I can't believe you even thought about joining the Ambo. Service when you haven't got a full driving licence - donut!  You are probably better off in the "Water Fairies" anyway.
Something happened this week to make this thread tragically relevant to us here, as bikers. Ron Pile, an LAS Paramedic, a bloke I never knew, but heard good things about, died as a result of an accident whilst on his motorcycle response training course. Apparently he had tried for years to get on the Motorcycle Response Unit:
