Prepare for your Ambulance driver’s license test (also known as DMV Ambulance Driver Written Test) with this free quiz that is based on the official NREMT booklet. You’ll be studying questions very similar (often identical) to those you’ll be required to answer on the official test for your Ambulance Driver’s Certificate in order to become a California-certified EMT. If you’re getting the EMT license in California for the first time, you’ll need to pick up the Request for Live Scan Service and the Medical Examiner’s Certificate at your local DMV. Once you have those, head to your Primary Medical Doctor (PMD) or an Industrial Clinic and have them complete the “MEDICAL EXAMINER’S CERTIFICATE,” otherwise known as a DMV Physical. The “Medical Examiner’s Certificate” card is yours to keep and must be in your possession at all times. You’ll need to give the Original Examination Report to the DMV. Get LIVE SCAN fingerprinted, then call your local DMV and schedule an appointment for the written test. Make sure you bring your Medical Examiner’s Report & Card and Live Scan paperwork. The cost of the Ambulance Driver’s Certificate is $28.00.
