EMT Policy and Procedure

2.01

Course Staffing

Date: 09/26/17

EMT Instructors shall be scheduled for psychomotor skills sessions at a ratio of 1 instructor to 6 students, or 1 instructor to 10 students when an EMT Instructor Aide is present. The scheduling of human resources (EMT Instructors, EMT Instructor Aides, Guest Lecturers) shall be the responsibility of the Programs Coordinator. Staff shall be assigned into Training Center Manager software and instructors shall be automatically sent email confirmations of the dates, times, and locations of the training session they are expected to teach. Instructors scheduled in Training Center Manager shall be sent a text message the day before class reminding them of the course, location, and start time of the session they are scheduled for. When the Programs Coordinator cannot manage to staff a program with the appropriate staff necessary to meet the requirements of NJAC 8:40a for the number of students anticipated in the session, the Programs Coordinator shall notify the Programs Director of the staffing shortage. The Programs Director and Programs Coordinator shall, in the absence of appropriate staff, help staff the program or reschedule the session to a date and time where staff can be obtained. Student attendance shall be documented by having the student sign the STUDENT ROSTER every session the course meets. It shall be the student’s responsibility to sign the roster upon arrival at the course site. When students miss a session the EMT Lead Instructor shall require that they attend a make-up session. When the make-up session is completed, the EMT Lead Instructor shall collect the signed make-up sheet from the student. On the original course roster the EMT Lead Instructor should write “MAKEUP SHEET IN FOLDER” where the student’s signature would otherwise have been if the student had attended that session. The EMT Lead Instructor should then file the make-up sheet in the student’s folder. Under no circumstances should the student be given credit if they did not sign the student roster for that session. Where students are more than 15 minutes late they shall not be permitted to get credit for that session. Documentation of Student Attendance
