Utah unlike many other states, utilizes their very own EMT & Paramedic exams to certify and license paramedics. The exam is similar to what you can expect to see in the NREMT exam which is used in most states. If you take the computer based exam, you would be able to see results immediately after completing the exam. If you take the written and practical exam, your results will be mailed to you within 2 weeks time.
