Any student that fails to attend a scheduled mandatory class or lab will be dropped from the course. This includes the Saturday classes, which are all mandatory classes. Failure to advise the course coordinator of any absence will result in disciplinary action to include removal from the advanced training course.

The following courses are offered each semester. The textbooks required include the Brady Paramedic Care series Volumes 1-5.
