What past students have to say...

My name is Kate and I have studied the diploma of paramedical science with AMR and have been an employee for just over 12 months.

My study and employment with AMR has helped me to gain entry into NSW ambulance through the new PETP pathway. AMR has set me up well with knowledge and experiences to be a bit more comfortable in my new role with NSWA. Being able to interact with patients and have an insight into how hospitals operate has been an amazing thing to experience prior to joining NSWA. To anyone thinking of studying with AMR I would highly recommend it! The trainers are absolutely amazing, the ride-a-longs are amazing and the knowledge you will take away from AMR is irreplaceable.

Studying at AMR has been the best experience and to finally achieve this step in my study journey is so rewarding.

Not only do i study with AMR but I work with AMR as well. The best feeling of all of this is that I am becoming a mum for the first time! The fact that i have checked off this milestone while managing all my other milestones, gives me a great sense of pride to know that i can do whatever i put my mind to! AMR has been so supportive throughout this whole process, and as I continue to travel on my study journey, with the Diploma.

The transition from student to an EMT with AMR has been my most rewarding experience. I’ve seen AMR grow beautifully over my 2 years of study and we continue to grow! With AMR.

The diploma has truly set me up with all the skills and vital information I’ve seen myself carry while on road. Studying the diploma gives you placement and workshop opportunities which have personally helped me build my confident the most. All the staff/students and trainers are extremely supportive and I’m honoured to be a part of the family.

I would like to thank the AMR team and staff for the foundation they have provided me in pursuing my dream of being a paramedic. With AMR.

The Certificate and Diploma program have set me up amazingly for the journey to being a pre-hospital clinician, I started with them all the way back in 2020 during the pandemic and chose to do the Diploma through them from personal endorsements from other paramedics who have also studied through AMR. In that time, I have watched them grow from a little warehouse in Prestons to the sprawling headquarters they have established in Mt Druitt...
