Randolph Community College will offer an EMT-Intermediate class on a flip-flop schedule this fall to allow students flexibility with their schedules. "This schedule is designed to assist those individuals seeking to obtain their EMT-Intermediate credential while working in EMS," said Ken Fields, coordinator/instructor of emergency services for RCC.
Fields said two courses would run parallel with one meeting on Monday and Wednesday evenings and the other meeting on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. For example, if a student has as conflict with attending the Monday evening session, he/she can attend the Tuesday morning session instead. Both classes also meet on Saturdays.
The EMT-Intermediate program consists of 174 classroom and lab hours and 96 clinical hours. Prerequisites include completion of all EMT-Basic requirements, high school diploma or GED, successful completion of an entrance exam assessing basic reading comprehension and English language writing skills on a post-secondary level, and demonstration of mathematical skills at a minimum of the high school grade level. An application is required.
The first course will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 16, and will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-10 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The second class begins Thursday, Sept. 17, and will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Both classes meet on the Asheboro Campus through January 2010.
An EMT-Paramedic course is planned for the spring semester to begin in February 2010.
