Syllabus
Central Texas College in Europe, Course Syllabus
Course Description:
A 5 credit hour course designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to become Emergency Medical
Technicians. This course prepares students for the National Registry Certification Examination and to work in
hospitals, fire and rescue organizations, private ambulance companies and other health care agencies. This course
allows the student to practice knowledge and skills necessary to render immediate care in an emergency situation.
The course follows the National Emergency Medical Services 2009 Education Standards.
Successful completion of the course entitles the student to take the National Registry certification exams.
Course Objectives: At the completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Recognize the nature and seriousness of the patient’s condition or extent of injuries and to assess requirements
for emergency medical care.
2. Lift, move, position, and handle the patient to minimize discomfort and to prevent further harm.
3. Administer or assist with appropriate emergency medications based on assessment findings of the patient’s
condition.
4. Recognize and operate within the scope of practice set for the Emergency Medical Technician Basic by the
Department of Transportation Standards of Care.
Class Policies and Procedures:
Attendance: Only 4 hours of missed class time are allowed.
Make-up Examinations: If you miss an announced quiz or exam for duty reasons or illness, you must provide
documentation in order to make up an examination.
Plagiarism: Plagiarized papers, reports, or exams will receive a grade of 0 (zero), whether copied in whole or in part.
Evaluation: There are two grades for this course. The final grade for the EMSP1401 portion of the course will be
based on 5 written exams. On a 100 point scale each of the exams will have the following values:
Exam #1 15 points
Exam #2 15 points
Exam #3 15 points
Exam #4 15 points
Exam #5 40 points
If an instructor factors in scores for quizzes given during the class, the above scale may be modified accordingly.
Grading Scale:
A=90-100 points, B=80-89 points, C=70-79 points, D= 60-69 points, F= Below 60 points.
A final grade of B (80) must be achieved to be eligible for the National Registry examinations.
The final grade for the EMSP1160 part of the class will be based on 12 hands-on quizzes (40%), 10 patient contacts
(25 %), and a final practical exam (35%). A grade of B must be obtained on the EMSP1160 for eligibility to take the
National Registry examinations.

CENTRAL TEXAS COLLEGE EUROPEAN DIVISION
SCHEDULE EMSP 1401/1160-EMT-B Training Program
Student Information
EMSP 1401/1160
WELCOME to the EMSP 1401/1160 course of study. This is not an easy course, nor should it be. Upon completion
of this course, you will enter the field of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The EMT is an integral part of the
EMS. Throughout the next several weeks, you will be taught the necessary knowledge and skills to become an
effective member of the EMS Chain of Survival, providing treatment at the scene of an emergency.
Here are some guidelines to assist you as you progress through the course of study.
I. Attendance
According to the National EMS Standards, attendance is mandatory for all lecture, lab sessions and testing throughout
the course. The Central Texas College EMT Program allows for no more than 4 hours of class missed. Because of
the amount of information given in such a short period of time, it is nearly impossible to make up missed class or lab
time.
II. Grades
Your will receive two grades for this course. Your grade on the lecture part of the class, EMSP1401, will be based on
5 written exams. Your grade on the practical part of the class, EMSP1160, will be based on 12 hands-on quizzes, 10
patient contacts, and a final practical exam. You must receive at least a B on each course to be eligible to take the
certification exams from the National Registry.
III. Clinical Rotations
To comply with National EMS Standards you must complete a minimum of 10 patient assessments in a medical
facility during 25 hours of clinical rotations. You must document your patient assessments on forms provided to you
by your instructor or CTC’s EMT staff. Clinical rotation time will be supplemented with practice on the
preprogrammed patient simulator. Instruments, paper or electronic, will be provided to you to document completion
of the clinical rotation time and you will be guided by a member of CTC’s EMT staff.
Most medical facilities require students to provide proof of immunization and records of health status prior to
rotations. The course coordinator will provide the clinic with a list of the military students in the course so their
medical records can be looked up. Civilian students will be required to make available relevant medical records to the
clinic. If they cannot, they will be denied access to the clinic.
Occasionally medical facilities may require students to have security checks prior to rotations. The course
coordinator will arrange for transfer of information between the students and the POC at the medical facility in this
regard at the beginning of the class.
Page 10 of 15
Emergency Medical Technician Program
Syllabus
IV. Faculty
Your class will have a primary instructor and one or more lab assistants. The primary instructor is responsible for
adherence to the Department of Transportation Standards, attendance, grades, counseling and all related class
activities. The lab assistant is to assist you with the performance of the various skills and to prepare you for National
Registry Skills Testing.
V. CPR
Prior to enrollment in these courses, you need to have completed CPR for Health Care Providers or the Professional
Rescuer. This is required by the National Registry. If you have not completed this, please notify your primary
instructor.
VI. NATIONAL REGISTRY TESTING
A. Skills testing: At the end of your course, you will be tested on the National Registry EMT required skills that
you have been practicing during your course. Dr. Gonzalez, Medical Director, or his assistant, will administer
this test. The following are the National Registry required testing stations and the time allowed to complete
the station.
Station #1 Patient Assessment/Management-Trauma, duration 10 minutes.
Station #2 Patient Assessment/Management-Medical, duration 10 minutes.
Station #3 Cardiac Arrest Management-/AED, duration 10 minutes.
Station #4 Bag Valve Mask-Apneic Patient, duration 5 minutes.
Station #5 Spinal Immobilization-Supine, duration 10 minutes.
Station #6 Oxygen administration with nonrebreather mask, duration 5 minutes
Station #7 Random Skill Verification, duration 5 to 10 minutes depending on the skill chosen at random:
Spinal Immobilization with a short device, Bleeding and Shock Management, Joint Immobilization, Long
Bone Splinting, Mouth-to-pocket mask ventilation with oxygen, Traction Splinting.
You must pass all skill stations. You may retest three of the stations. If you fail four or more of the stations,
you are not eligible to progress to the National Registry written certification exam.
Testing nights are very long and tiring, you will need to set aside this time for concentration.
B. Written testing: Upon successful completion of the skills testing, you will be eligible to take the National
Registry written certification exam. This exam is given online and the cost of taking it is $70.00. The
procedure for applying to take the exam online is described below in the handout APPLYING TO TAKE THE
NATIONAL REGISTRY WRITTEN EXAM ONLINE FOR CTC EUROPE STUDENTS and in the flyer
taken from the National Registry’s website. The National Registry recommends that you apply to take the
exam a few weeks before you plan to take it. When filling out the application you must follow the
instructions carefully so that your application will be forwarded by the National Registry to the correct
Program Coordinator/Medical Director.

facilities: Ali Al-Salim Computer Testing Center, Kuwait; Camp Arifjan Education Center, Kuwait; Camp As
Sayliyah Education Center, Qatar; Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, and Sinai South Camp Education Center, Egypt. In
Europe the exam is offered at the following facilities: National Testing Center Ramstein AB, Germany; National
Testing Center Aviano, Italy; National Testing Center, Vicenza, Italy. New National Testing centers are opening up
in Europe through the University of Maryland in the very near future. To find out their locations visit
www.ed.umuc.edu and click on National Testing Centers. These centers may not be listed on the online Pearson View
website and must be contacted directly by the student to make a testing appointment in advance.
You have one year to take the computer based exam after passing the National Registry practical exam.
