ENROLLMENT & EXPECTATIONS

All online courses with PERCOMOnline Inc. are Open Enrollment, which means that there no preset class start/end dates. The start date is different for each student, and is based on when they complete the registration process.

PLEASE NOTE: Open Enrollment DOES NOT MEAN Immediate Enrollment!!!

All students MUST complete the Registration Process to be officially enrolled into any online course!

Students signing up for the EMT, AEMT, or Paramedic courses must complete and clear a background check. Click Here to view the conditions that will prevent certification in the state of Texas.

While there are not set start dates, there is a limit to how long a student has to complete registration and enroll. Please read the bullets below for our registration/enrollment policy.

  • The time allowed for registration and enrollment is 15 business days from the delivery date the Registration Link email.
  • All registration steps must be complete within the allowed time frame. If they are not, registration will be  canceled and a refund processed per our policy.
    Per policy, the application fee portion will not be refunded.
  • New students whose background checks are still processing after 10 days and have submitted all other  registration steps, will be exempt from this policy.
  • New students who have only submitted a background check and have not completed the other steps are subject to this policy.

How do I Register?

The Registration Process consists of 3 main areas: student information submission, background check signup, and class signup at EMSTesting.com. After you pay your tuition for a given course, you will be redirected to our Course Registration Page where you can submit your information, and find instructions on how to complete the background check and EMSTesting requirements. If you do are not redirected to Course Registration, or receive an email containing a link to the Course Registration page, please contact Support.

PLEASE NOTE: Registration is NOT COMPLETE until AFTER your background check has fully cleared and been verified by PERCOM Staff!!!

When filling out the Registration Form, you will need the following information and color copies of documentation:

  1. Full Name & Email Address
  2. Mailing Address & Phone Number
  3. Government-issued Identification Card
  4. American Heart Association BLS Providers Certification
  5. High School Diploma or College Transcript
  6. EMT certification ( For Advanced Courses )
  7. EMS Resume ( For AEMT Challenge Students )

EMS INSTRUCTOR STUDENTS: We will just need your information and a copy of your Identification card for enrollment into the EMS Instructor Course. If you are registering for EMS Instructor, you will not need to complete the background check or signup at EMSTesting.com.


What Can I Expect?

After you have completed the Registration Process, it will take several days for everything to clear and be processed through Admissions before you can begin your course. 

The background check typically takes anywhere from 3 to 15 days to fully process. This depends on the applicants residential history, ex. the more places you have legally lived, the longer the background check takes.

The fees for EMSTesting.com and PlatinumPlanner.com ARE NOT included in tuition for the EMT Program signup options, but ARE INCLUDED for all Paramedic Program signup options!

After you have been accepted into your class in EMSTesting.com, you will be prompted to enter your class purchase code that came with your textbook package or enter a credit card. This step must be completed to gain full access to the class. PlatinumPlanner.com comes later, right before you begin the Clinical portion of the program.

As was stated at the top of this page, enrollment is not immediate! Please expect up to 15 days for everything to process and to gain access to your online course.

After you have completed the registration process and background check, we will create your user account and enroll you into your course. At that point, you will be able to login to this website and start your lessons.
