THANKS FOR YOUR CONSTRUCTIVE ADVICE. I WILL VIEW THE SITES0 -
For a second degree he won't get any funding and may have to pay full tuition fees. There might be some sort of NHS bursary available but you'd need to research that.0

Around here the paramedics tend to start as drivers, often on the non-emergency vans and work their way up. They then train while working.
Is that an option where you are?0 -

Yes, I thought that as well but according to melancholly's links that isn't possible anymore. That's why I deleted my post saying the same thing.0 -
The links above confirm that it is possible to join an ambulance trust as a student paramedic. With this route, you don't need to do a university course first. You apply direct to the ambulance trust and, if accepted, they will employ and train you. However, competition is fierce. It can help to do things like voluntary observer shifts with your local paramedics first, to talk about in the application process.
I know ambulance trusts still do this because a friend of mine was just accepted as a student paramedic
