Answers:
Methinks you'll need to be an ambulance technician first.
That involves a medical/fitness test, written/aural tests, give a presentation in front of a panel and then an interview
Get past that and you'll need I think it was 6/8 weeks training and a two week driving course

You train on from an ambulance technician unless you have established medical background

This was a couple of years ago so things may have changes a bit!.?
