Practice Sessions and Final Testing Session
All Intermediate/Paramedic 1 students are required to attend TWO 2-day Practice Sessions and successfully complete all written and skills Final Testing at a 2-day Final Testing Session. These sessions are currently scheduled at one or two approved locations in the state of Texas, one in Goliad and the other in Tyler.
Students will be required to RSVP for their selected sessions three weeks prior to the posted session date. To avoid additional fees, students should only RSVP and attend sessions after they have memorized ALL skills sheets provided in the program and watched ALL skills videos provided in the program and on any DVD/CD that comes with their textbooks. (Students who find local educators to assist them in prior practice tend to do better at the Practice or Testing sessions, but outside practice is NOT required.) Students MUST attend the sessions for which they have RSVP'd or additional fees for rescheduling will be required.
Tuition paid to PERCOM only covers the tuition for the online course, TWO 2-Day Practice Sessions and ONE Final Testing Session. Any further sessions requested by the student or required due to unpreparedness or "no-show" after RSVP are not covered. Travel expenses to attend the sessions are NOT included in the base tuition price for the course.
Practice and Testing Session dates are posted inside the course once you are enrolled. These dates are subject to change and should be monitored closely by the student.
