"I'm thinking there may be some glitches on the website."
As always, best to contact a CFRC.
I talked to a recruiter and they told me all the same info but said that to be eligible for a position one would need university High school credits. I have all the necessary credits but they're college credits. Can anyone here tell me if this is entirely true? And if so, would credits attained from online courses be accepted by the military? I asked the recruiter this but he didn't answer me directly, he just kept saying that I need University credits, so I gave up and hoped that I would find the answer online, but no luck yet. All your answers are much appreciated.

What's the difference between Med Tech - Un-Skilled/Semi-Skilled or Med Tech - NCM SEP?
They offer me a 7 years old As Tech Med but don't know witch one it is....
I'll ask tomorrow at my sworn because i'm leaving next week !!!!
Med Tech - Unskilled = basic eligibility, with NO prior experience or College credits
Med Tech - Semi-skilled = basic eligibility, College diploma (PCP, PPC, etc) and prior work experience as a Para-Medic, etc
Med Tech - NCM SEP - basic eligibility, unconditional acceptance into a PCP/PPC/etc program at a recognized College (you join the CF and then go to school for 1-2 years depending on the program you selected)

Online credits are acceptable, provided they are "recognized" by the Provincial Education system of the province in which they were granted.
If you are applying for Med Tech - NCM SEP, then the eligibility requirements are MUCH different than the other entry plans. NCM SEP requires a High School Diploma (Sec V Quebgec) or GED and "unconditional acceptance or currently enrolled as a full-time student in a Primary Care Paramedic programme at a post-secondary institition selected by the CF". So there is NO requirement for "specific" academics.

As noted, CFRC will tell you which programs are currently supported by the Canadian Armed Forces.
After that, applicants can find the required subjects and minimum grades for ( CAF supported ) programs in Ontario, by typing "Paramedic" into the search engine.

Simple answer......at this time, NO, the CF is not looking for Med Tech's.
However, you can still apply, when you will be contacted is anyone's guess, you will still need to complete the CFAT (aptitude test) and go through the entire process, including a PLAR for your recent PCP certification to ensure it was obtained from a CF recognized academic institution.
