This course has 7 module exams. It is recommended that once a student completes a module, they take the corresponding exam while the information is still fresh.
Each exam consists of 25 questions randomly selected from a large pool of questions. A 75% score or better is required to pass each exam.
If a student does not pass the exam the first time, they may retake the exam as many times as necessary in order to pass.
EMTs require constant training and continuing education.
While online training can assist in an EMTs training, also important is receiving hands-on training.
Training Providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment an employer's training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training that is supplied by their own company. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company specific training should be well documented.
The bottom line in ALL SITUATIONS is that employers are required to ensure that their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
