PARAMEDIC ADVANCED PLACEMENT

Paramedic 1 COURSE CHALLENGE – Accelerated Paramedic Program

Our accelerated paramedic program is one of very few in existence, and the top choice of hundreds of Advanced EMT’s so far!

*NOTE* If you have been certified in the last 5 years for the certifications listed above, you may also qualify for this program!

This challenging process is intended to prove equivalence to our current students in our AEMT/Paramedic 1 Program.

Schedule Exam

Once the background check and resume have been approved by the Program Director, Admissions will email you a link to schedule your online exam. Exams are given on normal business days with exceptions of holidays, and will be administered by a LIVE Online Proctor. Other test slots are available at special times, but an additional scheduling fee will apply.

Take Your Exam

Your exam will be provided via EMSTesting with a PERCOM proctor. During your webinar, the proctor will assist you in setting up your EMSTesting account (if needed) and then will direct you to the exam. You will receive your results at the end of the exam.

CAUTION

Curriculum changes over the years have changed what Advanced EMT’s are required to know in the field. That being said, the Paramedic 1 exam is not to be taken halfheartedly and only Advanced EMT’s that are comfortable in their former education and their current abilities should attempt the exam. However, if you feel you have what it takes to complete this accelerated paramedic program, signup now and be ready to take your exam in 1-2 weeks.

SKILLS TEST

Paramedic 1 challenge students will need to attend a Skills Testing session to demonstrate adequate knowledge of the required skills for Paramedic 1. This portion comes after the challenge exam, and can be completed later in the program.
