Answer:
CPR courses can be found by contacting your local American Heart Association. I believe you need to be 18 to be a certified EMT. Also alot of EMTs and Paramedics are also cross trained as firemen or even police officers in many communities.
You have to be 18 to be an EMT. The EMT-Basic program can go anywhere from a month to a semester. I live in Michigan, so check out the schools in your area. If you want to be a paramedic, it's even more school, and the things you can do are different.
Check here for CPR classes:
AmericanHeart.org
E-Mail me if you have questions, need more info, or ever need help with homework...
Good luck, and be ready to give up life as you know it!
A lot of people going into the EMT classes pre-take classes in CPR. From what I have seen in my classes, most of them take the American Red Cross CPR for the Professional Responder class or the Heart Association's BCLS class.
Pre-taking a class looks good on the application, and it gives you a head start on some of the topics you will cover later.
