EMSP Program Goal:

As an Accredited Program, we strive to prepare Paramedics who are competent in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor
(skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains to enter the profession.

Advanced Placement Policy:

The Amarillo College EMSP program does not offer advanced program placement opportunities to those seeking eligibility for the National Registry examination (typically requested by non-accredited, outside graduates; nurses; physicians; or other healthcare professionals). However, academic (transcript) credit may be awarded in some cases. Please note: Simply obtaining academic (transcript) credit should not be confused with one's ability to qualify for National Registry and/or State licensing/certification testing...one does NOT equate with the other.
