GENERAL INFORMATION
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, faculty and an
administrator 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. Documentation of the accommodation requested
and provided is maintained in a confidential file.
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.
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 upon
registration and at each subsequent 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 registration.
Hospitalization/accidental medical insurance is optional. For those who don’t have insurance, a low cost plan is available.
See the Admissions Office at Lake Technical College’s main campus. Proof of insurance must be included with the
application. For those who don’t have insurance, the forms will be available the first day of class.
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.

tests must do so by having an official score report sent directly to the Admissions Office prior to enrollment in the program.
Scores brought by hand will be accepted only if the document provided by the outside testing center is in a sealed
envelope.
Remediation of Basic Skills
According to Florida Department of Education rules, students who do not meet basic skills exit scores may only retest
after 60 documented hours of remediation or three months if no documented remediation is available. Students may not
retake the same test version for six months. We, therefore, strongly recommend that students test early, especially for
licensure programs, in order to allow time for remediation and retesting should the need arise.
Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician - Combined

08/04/22
Students who do not meet the minimum basic skills exit scores set by the Florida Department of Education for their
program may begin attending remediation classes prior to or at the time of enrollment in a Career and Technical
Education program and make acceptable progress as determined by the AAAE faculty member. It is highly recommended
students meet state mandated basic skills requirements by the time they have completed 50% of their program. Students
who do not meet state mandated basic skills exit scores may not receive a certificate of completion as per Florida
Department of Education rules.
Some basic skills test scores are only good for two years and must be valid at the start date of the initial enrollment
period. Basic skills test scores that expire during continuous enrollment remain valid until the end of such enrollment.
Under continuous enrollment, students must be enrolled at least 50% of each semester. Continuous enrollment applies to
attendance in a single program.
The TABE exit scores for this program are reading/language 10; math 10
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.

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

SOCIAL MEDIA
The advent of social media has created a worldwide 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.
FIREFIGHTER / EMT PROGRAM PROCEDURES AND POLICIES
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSE
• To provide the means of developing the basic firefighting and EMT knowledge and skills required by the State of
Florida Division of Fire Marshal’s Office, the Florida Department of Health, and Lake Technical College.
• To impart to the student the proper attitude and discipline required for gainful employment within the fire service or
pre- hospital emergency medicine.
• To provide training for firefighters that meet NFPA 1001 standards as outlined in Florida Statute 633, implemented by
Rule 69A, and 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 faculty on or before the date of absence. The student attendance policy for each postsecondary program is
consistent with industry standards.
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.
Enrollment Period – period of time a student begins his education and training in a CTE program (i.e., August 15
th
,
January 3
rd
) through the date of withdrawal or completion.
Payment Period – a set block of time in which a student pays for program hours (i.e., 300 hours, 450 hours)
Excused absence – one that is unforeseeable, unavoidable, and/or unusual. Examples of excused absences include
but are not limited to personal illness, court appearance, medical appointment, insurmountable conditions such as
extreme weather conditions, religious observances, communicable disease outbreaks, and local conditions
determined by LTC, and death in the immediate family. Documentation may be required. No more than 10% of
program hours per payment period may be excused.
Unexcused absence – Absences that fall outside of the excused category. Students may make up a maximum of 5%
of unexcused absences per payment period. Unexcused absences exceeding this amount will remain unexcused and
may result in discipline and/or dismissal from the program. Make-up time must be completed within a reasonable
amount of time in order remain in pace with the class and to remain in good standing with Lake Tech.
Make-up time – Students are required to successfully complete hours missed via attendance during designated hours
outside of the regularly scheduled program hours. Failure to complete make-up time may result in withdrawal from the
program. Make-up hours may not exceed 5% of the scheduled hours in the payment period. There is a $25.00 make-
up time fee per payment period.
Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician - Combined

Excessive absences - A student who is absent for six (6) consecutive class sessions will be withdrawn from his/her
program. A student must petition and be approved in order to return. Students exhibiting a pattern of consecutive
absences of less than six days will be subject to dismissal as determined by a School Intervention Team. A School
Intervention Team will review all petitions for re-enrollment. No additional fees will be charged if the student returns
during that current payment period, provided fees have not been refunded.
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.
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 Firefighter/EMT Combined program also work in their respective fields
and hire new employees as well as give employment recommendations to other agencies. Think about your future—the
first day of class in this program starts your interview!

the test answers in the classroom or instructor’s office, the exam cannot be copied or an image taken by any device.
Failure to comply with this will result in dismissal from the program.
Appeal: Students requesting to appeal this policy may submit their written appeal to the Executive Director.
Fire Academy Final Exams
To successfully complete the Fire Academy, a student must pass a comprehensive written and practical final exam with a
score of 75% or higher. One retake is allowed on the written final. One retake is allowed on the final practical. The entire
practical must be retaken. An average of the first attempt is not required on the written or practical final exams.
Clinical/Internship Practical Experience – This is the clinical component for EMT (EMS0110)
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
For the convenience of the student, the State practical test for Firefighter I (FFP0030) and Firefighter II (FFP0031) is given
at IPS.
The State written tests for Firefighter I (FFP0030) and Firefighter II (FFP0031) are given at the Lake Technical College
Testing Center on the College’s main campus.
Florida Statute 401.2701 requires the student to pass a comprehensive final written and practical examination given at the
end of EMT (EMS0110). 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, and all
visitors to the IPS campus must check in at the Front Office. Students will not have visitors in the program training areas
without approval of the Fire Program Director, MSC Coordinator, or the EMT Program Coordinator.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The State of Florida Bureau of Fire Standards and Training, the 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. The specific
requirements for each of the courses that make up the Firefighter/EMT Combined program are outlined in this section.
It should be noted that to be certified as a graduate of the Firefighter/EMT Combined program, the student must
demonstrate mastery of all competencies in the program, and the student’s final grade for the program will be an average
of the final grade for Firefighter I and II and the final grade for EMT. 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.

FIREFIGHTER I (FFP0030) and FIREFIGHTER II (FFP0031)
Students must receive live fire training in structure, flammable liquids, LP gas fires, and wild lands fires for a
mandatory of 54 hours of live burns in Firefighter I and Firefighter II. Protective breathing apparatus, rescue, ladder,
and hose training must be experienced by the student in order to successfully complete the courses. In addition, all
students must rappel from the top floor of the tower and each station as well as climb to the top of the aerial ladder.
Failure to complete any portion of the requirements will be grounds for failure.
Attendance:
Lake Technical College’s FF1/FF2 classes which are part of the Combo course is 492 hours in length. Students having
excessive absence, early departure, or tardiness exceeding 24 hours during the 492 hours will be placed on probation
or may be dismissed from the program pending the outcome of the Student Intervention Team (SIT) meeting. All
absences after the student is placed on probation will require documentation. Only documented sickness or personal
emergencies will be approved. Only the Program Training Director or their designee may give approval of absence. If the
total absences exceed 25 hours, the student may be exited from the class. The exception for this will be if the absences
were for documented medical reasons. Absenteeism and tardiness are a reflection on the trainee’s personal character
and an indicator of disinterest in attaining professional status in the public safety field. These areas are also a main point
of interest that employing agencies explore when reviewing trainee records for retention or employment. Class attendance
will be documented by an attendance roster. The instructor will verify attendance. Any tardiness is recorded on the daily
attendance sheets, regardless of the amount of time. Ex: two minutes, five minutes, etc. All will be recorded.
Firefighter I (FFP0030)
The Firefighter I course is 191 hours. Class attendance will be documented by an attendance roster. Students are
required to sign in for every session, and the faculty will verify attendance. Any tardiness, regardless of the amount of time
(i.e., two minutes, five minutes, etc.), is recorded on the daily attendance sheets.
Any student who exceeds 10 hours of absence during the 191 hours will be placed on probation. All absences after a
student is placed on probation will require documentation, and only documented sickness or personal emergencies will be
approved. Only the Program Training Director or their designee may give approval of absence. Failure to meet these
requirements will result in suspension and/or dismissal from the program.
Firefighter II (FFP0031)
The Firefighter II course is 301 hours. Any student who is absent more than 14 hours will be placed on probation. All other
rules regarding absences listed in Firefighter I (FFP0030) apply also to Firefighter II (FFP0031).
Students are required to be in attendance at all times when class is in session. Absence from class for any reason other
than illness requires prior authorization from the respective Coordinator. Should an emergency arise requiring the
student’s absence from any class, the student will inform the respective MSC Coordinator in writing (or by telephone with
a written report later) prior to the absence or as soon as possible. Failure to call in to report one’s inability to report for
class on time may be considered grounds for dismissal from the program. Students must call in at least 30 minutes prior
to the start of class. Feigning sickness or injury to avoid class work may be grounds for dismissal from the program.
Make-up work may be assigned for time missed, and the MSC Coordinator shall evaluate, on a case-by-case basis,
whether or not the missed instruction can be made up. Failure to complete make-up work may result in dismissal from the
program after a Student Intervention Team (SIT) meeting. Students who have not completed all make-up work will be
ineligible for the Minimum Standards State Exam for Certification. Students will not receive a graduation certificate until all
make-up work is completed.
Attendance during certain areas of training is mandated by the State in order to meet competency standards.
STUDENTS UNABLE TO PERFORM PHYSICAL TRAINING (PT) OR TRAINING EVOLUTIONS MAY BE ALLOWED TO
SIT OUT FOR ONE CLASS. ABSENCE FROM MORE THAN ONE CLASS REQUIRES AN EXCUSE FROM A DOCTOR
STATING THE REASON HE/SHE CANNOT PARTICIPATE AND THE DATE WHEN HE/SHE CAN RESUME NORMAL
FIREFIGHTER TRAINING. STUDENTS UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN REQUIRED DRILLS DUE TO INJURIES OR
ILLNESS DOCUMENTED BY A DOCTOR WILL BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
PROGRAM AND WILL BE EXITED.
Tardiness
Students who are tardy to class or tardy returning from breaks shall perform one tower* for every minute late, up to the
Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician - Combined
Page 10 of 24
08/04/22
instructor’s discretion based on a case-by-case basis. Any lateness exceeding 30 minutes shall require make-up work as
stated above and be counted in one-hour increments. All tardiness will be recorded against the student’s attendance. A
Certificate of Perfect Attendance will not be awarded to a student who has been tardy. Continued tardiness will result in
reprimands and discipline (push- ups, etc.). If tardiness continues, it may result in dismissal from the program after a
Student Intervention Team (SIT) meeting.
*Tower means the student will climb the training tower stairs to the sixth floor and return to the ground floor.
Firefighter I (FFP0030) and Firefighter II (FFP0031) Class Procedures
The student must be standing on his/her assigned number at the designated class start time.
The class leader will ring the fire bell three times to signify that the class is ready for inspection. Students shall line up and
be inspected daily before each class session for proper attire, grooming, and equipment. This shall include all of the
student’s personal protective equipment (PPE), which includes the student’s personal rescue rope (20 feet of 7/16
Kermantle rope). The student will be in proper uniform, including rope, while on campus. The student will be in proper
uniform when on lunch breaks. The student shall be sent home to retrieve the proper attire or equipment and docked for
the time absent if any items are missing. In addition, for every violation, the student will do one tower. Towers will be done
at the end of the class day. Violations will be noted on the daily attendance form and in the logbook.
When the inspection is completed, the class will recite the “Firefighter Creed.” Students will have two weeks to learn the
“Creed.” After that, at any time during the class the student may be required to recite the “Creed.” The penalty for failure to
know the “Creed” will be 3 towers in full bunker gear.
FIREFIGHTER CREED
WE ARE FIREFIGHTING RECRUITS. OUR CHOSEN PROFESSION IS RICH IN TRADITION AND HONOR. OUR
ABILITIES ARE FORGED IN THE FLAMES OF EXPERIENCE AND TEMPERED IN THE HALLS OF EDUCATION. WE
MUST REMAIN VIGILANT TO HELP THOSE IN NEED WHO CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES. WE ARE A
BROTHERHOOD, THE FINE LINE BETWEEN CHAOS AND NORMALCY, WE ACCEPT THE SACRIFICES WE MUST
MAKE, AND ARE WILLING TO EARN THE TITLE OF “AMERICA’S BRAVEST.” WHILE WE ARE UNCERTAIN WHAT
THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR US, WE DO NOT FEAR THE FUTURE… FOR WE ARE THE FUTURE!
THERE WILL BE A FLAG-RAISING CEREMONY PRIOR TO THE INSPECTION. A STUDENT WILL BE ASSIGNED TO
TAKE DOWN THE FLAG AT THE END OF THE CLASS.
At the end of the class, each squad leader will ring the bell one time to signify that his/her squad has completed
their assignments and are ready to be dismissed.
IPS Lunch Periods
Students in the day Firefighter class will have one (1) hour for lunch. Since class times are 9 am to 6 pm for these
courses, the lunch period runs from 1 pm to 2 pm, unless otherwise instructed, which allows 4 hours before and after
lunch for class work. There are no lunch periods for the evening Firefighter class during the week. Students will have one
(1) hour for lunch on Saturday class sessions. While off campus, students will conduct themselves in a manner that is a
credit to themselves, the program, and the school. The rules of conduct will be the same as on campus.
Breaks and Class Times
Breaks will be given at the discretion of the faculty in charge of the class. All classes must meet for the scheduled time
stated. During the first break, a designee will report to the IPS front office with the class paperwork and pick up any
messages to go to the fire area. (The exception to this procedure will be Saturday classes). Students may not leave the
campus during breaks.
If a faculty does not report for class at the scheduled time, the class leader will contact the IPS front office, the MSC
Coordinator, and/or the Fire Program Training Director.
Etiquette
Students will step to the side and assume a parade rest position when they are on the IPS campus north of the training
area (this area is designated by a red line on the sidewalk) during the following conditions:
• When approached by instructional staff or other persons are known not to be students.
• When approaching persons in the hallway who are not wearing the uniforms of students.
• When in the break areas and visiting dignitaries in uniform (or suits) are touring the facilities. Exception: During
Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician - Combined
Page 11 of 24
08/04/22
training exercises, students will continue to train unless otherwise instructed.
• All students will stand when being instructed on the drill field. While observing or waiting to perform an exercise, all
students will stand unless drills being taught require kneeling, i.e. hose rolls, and tool hoisting. Students will focus on
the training exercise; this is not the time for socializing. No lying down, kneeling down, leaning against walls or sitting
down is allowed on the training grounds. Exception: Designated breaks under the pavilions.
The Fire Service is a paramilitary organization, and the chain of command must be followed. The chain of command for
the Firefighter class will be:
1. Lead Faculty for the day
2. MSC Coordinator
3. Fire Program Director
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ETIQUETTE RULES WILL BE GROUNDS FOR DISCIPLINE.
Practical Testing for Firefighter I and Firefighter II Courses
1. Simulated Candidate Physical Agility Test (SCPAT) The test consists of 8 events. This test is given three times during
the FF1/FF2 course. At qualifying maximum time 12 minutes with no weight. At mid-term, all candidates are required
to complete the SCPAT in 11 minutes 25 seconds with 50 pounds of weight The final SCPAT must done in 10
minutes and 20 seconds with 75 pounds while on the stair climb (the candidate wears a 50-pound vest to simulate the
weight of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and firefighter protective clothing. An additional 25 pounds,
using two 12.5-pound weights that simulate a high-rise pack (hose bundle), is added to the shoulders for the stair
climb event).
Throughout these events, students must wear long pants, a hard hat with chinstrap, work gloves and footwear with no
open heel or toe. Watches and loose or restrictive jewelry are not permitted.
To ensure the highest level of safety and to prevent exhaustion, no running is allowed between events. This time
walking allows approximately 20 seconds to recover and regroup before each event. To ensure scoring accuracy, two
stopwatches are used to time the SCPAT. One stopwatch is designated as the official test time stop-watch, the
second is the backup stop watch.
Two attempts will be allowed. Failure to meet this time will mean the student will be exited from the class.
This test is to ensure Firefighter I and Firefighter II students are physically able to perform essential job tasks required
to successfully complete this program. See below the 8 separate events.
• Stair Climb
• Hose Drag
• Equipment Carry
• Ladder Raise & Extension
• Forcible Entry
• Search
• Rescue
• Ceiling Breach & Pull
2. Protective Breathing Apparatus (PBA) Day Test consists of successfully going through the maze:
• Negotiating the Maze
The student must negotiate the maze blindfolded while breathing air from the SCBA and the face-piece. Failure of
this portion of the test occurs when the student removes the blindfold or face-piece, quits the evolution, or is
stopped by the faculty because of safety or health reasons. Due to the possibility of a malfunction of the breathing
apparatus in a confined space, the student will be given three (3) attempts to complete this area of the test.
Failure to successfully complete the maze will result in dismissal from the class.
Mid-Term Practical Review consists of all the skills taught in the Firefighter I course. The midterm practical is to make the
student aware of skills they need to work on.
Physical Training (PT)
It is the student’s responsibility to maintain adequate physical fitness. This will require the student to exercise on his or her
own time as well as scheduled workouts. The gym, tower, etc. are available for student use during appropriate times.
Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician - Combined
Page 12 of 24
08/04/22
PT consists of calisthenics and running. All students will participate as scheduled and meet the requirements as listed in
the physical fitness schedule. A PT leader will be appointed. Students are required to follow the instructions of the PT
leader. Students shall be inspected for proper attire for PT. Those who do not meet the standards shall be sent home to
retrieve the proper clothing. The time will be docked from the student’s attendance record. Firefighter training is very
stressful on the body. It is very important to stay hydrated. Students will be given adequate water breaks, but it is the
individual’s responsibility to stay hydrated before, during, and after physical activity.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN (EMS0110)
Attendance Policy
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. 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 eight (8) class hours of the Emergency Medical Technician (EMS0110) 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.
• All assignments missed during the student’s absence must be made up. It is student’s responsibility to meet with the
faculty to get missed assignments and handouts.
• Per F.S. 401.2701 5.b.5.c., attendance at the 2-hour Trauma Methodology and Trauma Registry lecture is mandatory.

The staff at Lake Technical College takes great pride in the Firefighter/EMT Combined program and its students. The staff
has the responsibility to train students to be professional firefighters and 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.
