ACCOMMODATIONS

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities as

identified on the secondary student’s IEP or 504 plan or postsecondary student’s accommodations plan to

meet individual needs to ensure equal access. Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify,

present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their postsecondary

provider.

Students desiring accommodations or updates to their accommodations are encouraged to self-identify as

early in the program as possible. In order to receive disability accommodations, students must self-disclose the

disability to the Special Populations Coordinator and provide documentation that clearly shows evidence of a

disability and applicable accommodations. The Special Populations Coordinator will schedule a meeting with

the student and faculty to discuss the documented disability and applicable accommodations.

Accommodations received in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary education.

Accommodations change the way the student is instructed. Students with disabilities may need

accommodations in such areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments, assessments, time

demands, schedules, learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems. Note:

attendance does not qualify as an accommodation. Documentation of the accommodation requested and

provided is maintained in a confidential file.

Emergency Medical Technican (ATD)

Page 2 of 20

Master Plan of Instruction 07/15/26

Students in need of academic accommodations for a disability may consult with the Special Populations

Coordinator to arrange appropriate accommodations. Students are required to give reasonable notice (typically

5 working days) prior to requesting an accommodation.

BACKGROUND SCREENING – DRUG TESTING

The Agency for Health Care Administration requires all employees and other individuals (students) whose

responsibilities may require them to provide personal care or services to residents or has access to their living

area or personal property to undergo a background screening. A student whose background screening

reveals prior arrest incidents will be counseled regarding a retention program and potential employment

opportunities. The healthcare profession recognizes that substance abuse among its members is a serious

problem that may compromise the ability of the abuser and jeopardize the safety of patients entrusted to their

care. The College, in its effort to maintain high standards of education and clinical practice and to comply with

requirements mandated by cooperating clinical facilities, has implemented a drug-testing program.

If at any time during a pre-clinical screening, random screening or reasonable cause screening, a student

refuses to be tested, the student will be withdrawn from the program. If at any time the student’s drug test is

positive, or a negative dilute and has not been medically approved, the student will be withdrawn from the

program.

INSURANCE

Personal injury/school accident insurance is required for all Career and Technical Education students. This

insurance is provided through Lake Technical College at the rate of $1.50 a month. The accident insurance

fee will be charged to students per payment period.

Health programs with clinical experiences require liability insurance in conjunction with requirements by the

healthcare facilities. The liability insurance fee is charged to students at the time of enrollment.

FINANCIAL AID

Policies and guidelines for the administration of all financial aid are established according to federal and state

law. Applicants complete an information form, Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and furnish

documentation needed to verify eligibility. More information on the application process may be obtained in the

Financial Aid Office.

The Financial Aid Office will assist students, where possible, with access to financial support offered by

federal agencies (U.S. Department of Education – Pell Grants, Department of Veterans’ Affairs), other state

and local agencies and local organizations (scholarships). For information on financial services, contact the

Financial Aid Office at Lake Technical College’s main campus 352.589.2250.

TUITION

Tuition is charged to adult students at a rate established by the State legislature. Current fee information is

available in the Admissions Office. Tuition is waived for eligible high school, career dual enrolled students.

Tuition is due prior to the first day of each payment period based on the Lake Technical College payment

calendar. Failure to pay fees at the time class begins will result in not being able to attend class and/or

clinical.

REFUND POLICY

If it becomes necessary for a student to withdraw from the program, the tuition refund may be given using the

following applicable guidelines (excerpts from the LTC refund policy guidelines):

 Withdrawal through the closing of the fifth day of class per semester, 100% of all tuition and eligible fees

will be refunded.

 Registration fees are non-refundable.

 Payment plan fees are non-refundable.



Uniforms are not eligible for refunds.

 Rental fees are non-refundable.

 If student tuition has been paid by a scholarship, the refund due will be returned to the scholarship fund or

the agency that sponsored the student.

The Lake Technical College refund policy is listed in its entirety in the College’s catalog on its website

(www.laketech.org).

ONLINE ACCESS

Technology is an integral part of our daily lives. From smart phones to electronic tablets, these devices are

becoming items that many cannot function without. In addition, the Internet is changing the way education is

delivered. Lake Technical College strives to ensure that our students are able to compete in this technology

driven world. With this in mind, it is recommended that students have an online presence and access to the

internet.

It is also important that students have an email address that they check on a regular basis. A lot of

information may come to you through your email, so it is important that you check it regularly. If you do not

have an email address, there are numerous services that provide FREE email addresses. Please make sure

your faculty(s) have a current working email address for you. See your faculty for more information.

SOCIAL MEDIA

The advent of social media has created a world-wide communication medium for persons of all ages. While

extremely popular, these websites have also created their own set of “not-so-popular” problems such as

cyber-stalking, identity theft, cyber-bullying, cyber-cheating (posting of exam, or other course material), and a

host of other

nebulous challenges

that users may face. Another reality associated with social media is its far-

reaching consequences for those who share posts that may be seen by others as inappropriate.

Potential employers, current employers, civic, or educational organizations you may be associated with, and

many others are looking at social media sites for information that may tell them things about an individual.

Students should also be cautioned on how private their social media content really is – despite the settings on

an account. All social media sites are potentially vulnerable. A simple search of how to view pages that are

set as “private” for a popular social media website yielded numerous responses for ways to view the content.

Everything from blogs to online videos offer to explain how to accomplish this task.

Students in all programs need to be cognizant of the fact that most professions rely on great moral character.

It is recommended that when using social media, assume that all posts will be seen/read by everyone with

access to the internet.

SMOKING

Lake Tech is a tobacco free institution. The use of tobacco products of any kind, including e-cigarettes, is not

permitted at any Lake Tech location. This includes the parking lots.

FOLLOW UP

Lake Technical College is proud of its graduates and celebrates the next step graduates take whether it

employment,

military or further education. Prior to completing, students may visit the Career Success Center

for assistance with employability skills such as resume writing. In addition, faculty may provide students with

employment leads. However, it is up to the individual student to actively pursue employment opportunities. We

like to hear how our graduates are doing and want to celebrate your successes so be sure to communicate

with your faculty any employment, military, or further education you enter. Students are required to participate

in an Exit Interview prior to their last day in their program.

EMT PROGRAM PROCEDURES AND POLICIES

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSE

 To provide the means of developing the basic EMT knowledge and skills required by the Florida

Department of Health, and Lake Technical

College.

 To impart to the student the proper attitude and discipline required for gainful employment within pre-

hospital emergency medicine.

 To provide EMT training as outlined in Florida Administrative Code 64-J and Florida Statute 401.

ATTENDANCE

In an effort to develop appropriate work ethics, Lake Tech students are expected to attend all class sessions.

As is expected in the workplace, when it is necessary to be absent due to illness or emergency situations, all

students are to notify the faculty on or before the date of absence. The student attendance policy for each

postsecondary program is consistent with industry standards.

Students may only miss a maximum of sixteen (16) class hours of attendance. Students that exceed that

amount may be subject to program dismissal

Emergency Medical Technican (ATD)

Page 4 of 20

Master Plan of Instruction 07/15/26

Campus attendance is kept via a computerized system. It is the responsibility of the student to log in and out

in order to receive credit for class time. This allows the school to keep accurate attendance records for the

actual number of hours and minutes attended. Faculty are not expected to manually enter student attendance.

Only one override is permitted for failure to log in or out. Therefore, failure of a student to log in and out may

result in a documented absence. Logging in or out for another student or having another student log in or out

is unacceptable behavior and may result in dismissal.

Only regularly scheduled class hours will be reported for attendance. Make-up time will not be accepted

except as approved by the Executive Director of Lake Technical College.

Absenteeism, tardiness, and leaving early are a reflection on the trainee’s personal character and an indicator

of disinterest in attaining professional status in the field. Excessive absence or tardiness will be grounds for

reprimands and/or dismissal from the program. These areas are also a main point of interest that employing

agencies explore when reviewing trainee records for employment or retention.

A student who is absent for six (6) consecutive class sessions will be withdrawn from enrollment in his/her

program. A student withdrawn for absenteeism must petition administration to return. A student having

medical documentation or documentation of an extenuating circumstance does not need to petition to return.

Students exhibiting a pattern of consecutive absences less than six days will be subject to dismissal as

determined by a School Intervention Team.

Classroom, lab and clinical rotations scheduling will not be arranged around a student’s employment

schedule. It is expected that the student’s education comes first. Each student is expected to be punctual and

in attendance for all classroom, lab, and clinical rotations. Employment should in no way interfere with the

student’s academic or clinical responsibility.

Specific attendance requirements are outlined in the Course Requirements section of this Master Plan of

Instruction. It is important to keep in mind that faculty in the EMT Program also work in their respective fields

and hire new employees as well as give employment recommendations to other agencies. They take note of a

student’s attendance record as well as absenteeism and tardiness. Think about your future—the first day of

class in this program starts your interview!

DRESS CODES

Students who attend Lake Tech shall dress in a manner appropriate for the job in which they are receiving

training, including any special protective gear and professional uniforms. All clothing, makeup, and jewelry

must be clean, neat, modest, in good repair, appropriately sized, and be neither distracting nor offensive.

Students are expected to display their valid student ID, or have on their person when unable to display due to

safety in the program, at all times.

The Executive Director or designee has the final authority for determining whether or not a student’s apparel

conforms to the dress code. If it is determined that it does not, students will be required to change into clothing

following:

 First offense: a verbal warning.

 Second offense: a formal written warning (with a letter to student’s sponsor outlining the problem, when

applicable).

 Third offense: a suspension for a minimum of eight hours and may be grounds for dismissal. A School

Intervention Team (SIT) meeting will be scheduled to consider appropriate disciplinary

action.

All reprimands will be documented in the class log.

FACULTY OFFICES

Students are not permitted in any staff member’s private office without permission. The student will knock and

receive permission to enter before doing so.

GROUNDS FOR PROGRAM DISMISSAL

The faculty and staff of Lake Technical College work closely with all students to help them succeed in their

chosen profession. Violation of any established program regulation or policy may result in disciplinary action

up to and including dismissal from the program. There are zero tolerance infractions, however, that will result

PARKING

Students shall park in the designated parking area provided. Students do not play loud car and/or portable

radios while in parking areas.

TESTING and GRADING

Lake Technical College is a postsecondary institution designed to provide trained individuals for industry. The

approved postsecondary program grading requirements must be met for the student to receive a program

certificate.

The final course grade recorded in the Student Information System will reflect the category in

which the student was not successful.

Lecture/Classroom

Written and Practical exams are administered for combined subjects of instruction.

Written

Grading Policy: Students participating in the Emergency Medical Technician program will take multiple tests

and examinations throughout the program. Successful completion of each test and examination is critical to

the overall success of the student. The student’s academic progress will be monitored closely and students

who fail to achieve a proficiency of at least 75% on quizzes and tests during each 16 hour block of hours may

be placed on probation or considered for removal from the course. During each 25 block of hours, each

student’s grade will be calculated to ensure that a 75% average is maintained. If the average is below 75%,

the student may use their retake option to improve their average.

Exam Retake Policy: During the program students are eligible to request a retake of up to a maximum

of two failed Platinum tests. Students will have their choice to retake any two failed tests in order to achieve

at least a 75% average. Retake examinations will be scheduled with availability of program staff. It is the

student’s responsibility to choose the exam to be retaken.

Academic integrity is a concern to the EMS programs: therefore, utilizing cell phones and other programmable

devices/ smartwatches are not permitted during testing.

Practical

Practical exams are scored Pass or Fail.

To successfully complete the program, a student must pass each course’s comprehensive final with a score of

75% or higher and receive a Pass on the practical exam. One retake allowed on the written final. One retake

Emergency Medical Technican (ATD)

Page 7 of 20

Master Plan of Instruction 07/15/26

on the final practical. The entire practical must be retaken.

Clinical/Internship Practical Experience - This is the clinical component for EMT (EMS 0110)

A final grade for the student’s clinical and ambulance internship activities is calculated and based on the

following criteria:

a. Knowledge and skills: These required components are very closely integrated in the training and work of

an EMT or paramedic and, therefore, will be weighted together to make up this portion of the curriculum.

The knowledge and skills grade will encompass the following areas of study:

1. Clinical chronology/clinical essay

2. Skills Check Off and competency examinations

b. Professional Skills:

1. Attendance/tardiness to clinical rotations

2. Professional appearance

3. Professional interaction and rapport (teamwork and diplomacy, respect, patient advocacy)

4. Professional conduct (integrity, empathy, self-motivation, and self-confidence)

The student must successfully complete both the clinical/internship portion of the program independent from

the classroom portion. The minimum satisfactory grade for the clinical/field internship portion is 75%.

STATE TESTING

Florida Statute 401.2701 requires the student to pass a comprehensive final written and practical examination

given at the end of EMT. To become a State certified EMT, the graduate must apply for and pass the Florida

EMT (National Registry EMT) certification examination. The certification examination is given off-campus.

VISITORS

All visitors to the main campus of Lake Technical College must check in at the Admissions kiosk in the lobby.

Students will not have visitors in the program training areas without approval of the EMS Department

Coordinator.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

The State of Florida Department of Health, Division of Medical, the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE),

and the US Department of Transportation (DOT), National EMS Education Standards for EMT set the

curriculum of instruction required to sit for the state certification and licensure examinations. It should be noted

that to be certified as a graduate of the EMT Program, the student must demonstrate mastery of all

competencies in the program. The instructional staff reserves the right to assign additional practice to any

student who, in their professional opinion, requires additional work to master specific program requirements.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN (EMS 0110)

Attendance Policy

Attendance is kept via a computerized system. It is the responsibility of the student to clock in and out in order

to receive credit for class time. This allows the school to keep accurate attendance records for the actual

number of hours and minutes attended. This mechanism will not be amended / over-ridden more than one

time by the faculty for the duration of the program.

Excessive absences may result in an unsatisfactory knowledge, skills, and/or professional skills grade and can

result in termination from the program.

Tardiness

As in the workplace, students are expected to be in their seats promptly in the morning, after break, and after

lunch. Students are expected to notify the faculty before the start of class of any anticipated tardiness.

Lecture/Classroom Attendance Policy\



Students are required to log in and out every session.

 Students who miss more than sixteen (16) class hours of the Emergency Medical Technician 300

course hours are subject to dismissal from the program. Absences and tardiness are significant

areas of interest by potential employers such that any violation of the above will lower the student’s

professional skills grades.

Emergency Medical Technican (ATD)

Due to the hazardous nature of the training, students involved in a gross safety violation that may result in

injury to other students or instructional staff may be exited from the program IMMEDIATELY upon

documentation of such acts. The staff at Lake Technical College takes great pride in the EMT Program and its

students. The staff has the responsibility to train students to be professional EMTs and to certify that students

will be a credit to the program and the profession. During the class, students who are not meeting the

professional standards, whether academic, practical, or attitude, will be counseled. If improvement is not

made, the student may be dismissed from the program.

Students enrolled in this program are training to enter a dangerous, responsible, adult occupation in which the

civilian public, as well as your work partners, will be dependent upon your ability. With this in mind, use your

training hours wisely.

If any problems arise during the course of the program, students may contact the Lake Technical

College’s EMS Department Coordinator or College administrators at 352.589.2250.
