Paramedic certification doesn't require college at all. It requires specific training.
Some people do get their training at the community college degree level and that includes training in additional areas as well as the certification course.
Paramedic training programs that are full-time study are typically 2 years long. Part time programs progress from EMT-B to EMT-I or EMT-D and then to EMT-P
A 4-6 year program for paramedics would be a bachelor's or master's degree in Emergency or EMS Management - far higher qualification than a field paramedic would normally hold.
