Online EMT Course & Final Exam

Course Available 24/7

Our exclusive EMT course content is a combination of open-book exams, audio lectures, presentations, instructional videos, and homework assignments.

The Final Exam is given live by a PERCOM Exam Proctor by utilizing online webinar software from your home or office. This method allows the Proctor to explain the rules and administer the examination from within a secure, online environment.

3 Day “Hands-on” Session

“National Registry EMT Psychomotor Exam”

Regularly scheduled skills lab (aka. “EMT Exit Sessions“) consists of a single day-long live lab event: Practice Lab; Testing Lab. If regularly scheduled skills labs do not fit your personal schedule, then private sessions averaging 8 hours can be purchased and scheduled around your availability.

The session begins with familiarization of materials and equipment and then quickly moves into the “hands-on” skills training with fellow students. Furthermore, the dates for these sessions are posted on the PERCOM Events Calendar 10-12 months in advance.

Students are able to attend their EMT Exit Skills Session after completing the EMT Course Final Exam. Therefore, start checking the school calendar for dates posted months in advance to start planning travel arrangements (if necessary).
