Asia’s Emergency Medical Services Institute, Inc. (AEMS):
The mission of AEMS is to an accessible and affordable education through a dedicated and knowledgeable faculty and staff, a responsive curriculum and strong community partnership, which together will enable students to think critically, demonstrate leadership, develop ethical standards and complete effectively in the global workplace.
Advanced -EMT Program (AEMT) :
The Advanced EMT program is based on the protocols of three different countries, all of who are the leaders of the EMS profession. As such, the course you are about to begin is designed on these international standards. The subject matter is however presented following the general protocols, but the study material is presented at a higher level than most A-EMT courses.
The purpose of this higher level is to prepare you for the more advanced course that follow; the Paramedic Course. As such, the testing regimen is also at a higher level and relies on your ability to think critically. It is strongly advised that you study the material presented on a daily basis. There is a large volume of work to get through, and your understanding of the work is of paramount importance. Please do not hesitate to consult with your instructors if you have any problems.
Testing:
At the end of each module or topic, you will have a short quiz as a means of highlighting the main points of the material and it will serve a guide for you where you need to apply more attention. These quizzes do not carry any weight towards your final mark.
Your weekly test, which will cover all the work presented during the previous week. You are expected to attain a minimum of 75% for each test. Failure to attain 75% or more for each of these tests will negatively affect your final mark.
Final theory examinations cover all the material from the first day. The paper will consist of multiple choice type questions and short answer questions and anatomy and physiology diagrams and/or tables. There will also be oral and practical examinations conducted by the AEMS assessor on a pre-arranged day or series of days depending on when the assessor is available.
All papers are marked at our central office in Davao City, Philippines and the results will be returned to your instructor who will discuss your results with you. The marking of these tests and examinations will take up to three (3) office days. Always use your student number and never your name when you submit your tests for marking. Any questions you have concerning this process must be submitted in writing addressed to the AEMS Head of Training.
You are strongly advised to practise the practical skills as much as possible to enhance your skills. You will be marked using a check-list of actions. There are critical points with each procedure. If you fail to perform any of the critical points, you will fail the examination. You may fail only one practical skill except the CPR component. The practical skill, CPR and AED/Manual Defibrillation for both adult and infant carries a 100% pass mark. If you fail CPR and/or AED/Manual Defibrillation, you will fail the whole course. Pharmacology carries a pass mark of 80%. Failure to attain 80% for this module will mean failure of the whole course.
Below is a description of how the marks are processed to determine your final average. You need to attain a minimum of 75% over-all average to pass as an A - EMT.
Test 1 – 12 30%
Mid-Term Examination:
Theory 10%
Practical 5%

.
Re-Writing of tests or examinations
We will strive to make your learning informative and all efforts will be spent to make sure you have the tools to enter the world of EMS equipped with knowledge and practical skills. The onus is on you to pass the examinations without relying on a re-write. For this reason, you may only re-write a test if you have scored 60% and above.
The final theory examination may not be re-taken. You may re-write oral and practical examinations ONLY if the AEMS Assessor is satisfied that you will be able to pass a re-write.
Re-marking of examinations
As the papers are marked by a team of people, and they are checked twice, all results are final. There will be no negotiations on this matter. Any paper that is re-marked will be subject to an administration fee. You can request a remark by written request to the Head of Training who will consider your case based on your motivations for re-marking your paper.
Absences during tests and the final examination
You must not miss an examination or test. If you are booked off sick, the doctor’s letter must indicate a date at least two (2) days prior to the examination. Any illnesses or injuries must be a matter of life and death. Failure to arrive for a test or the final examination is immediate disqualification from the course (failure-debarred).
Failure
If your over-all average is below 75% you have failed the course. No money or funds will be reimbursed to you should you fail. Your failure is not the fault of AEMS or any of its staff but your own. Comments against AEMS or any of the staff on social media (in any form) due to your failure will be handed over to our law firm for litigation. Any complaints can be made in writing to the President of AEMS. Please make sure you have your facts correct and all witnesses to your complaint need to submit written statements to substantiate your claims.
Laboratory and Clinical Exposure
All laboratory work and clinical exposure must be recorded. You will receive a practical book that must be kept up to date by yourself and signed off by your instructor or supervisor (hospital). This book is designed to help you keep track of your practical experience and comments from your instructor to guide you in your remedial work. This book must be submitted at the end of your course as this will count towards your final mark. All work in it must be legible and the book must be kept in good condition.

Fraternization with Instructors
All EMS instructors and staff will maintain the highest level of professionalism, and unquestionable integrity, at all times while engaged in AEMS' Training Centre activities.
Factors, concerning fraternization with instructors, include whether the student’s conduct has:
• Compromised the chain of command.
• Resulted in the appearance of partiality.
• Undetermined good order, discipline, authority, or morale.
• Damage the ability of the program to accomplish its mission.
The act’s and circumstances must be such as to lead a reasonable person experienced in the problems of leadership to conclude that the good order and discipline of the program has been prejudiced by their tendencies.
Therefore, all interactions with instructors will be confined to program-related activities, at program-approved locations, for the full duration for the student’s enrolment. Instructor-involved study groups and assistance practical exposure sites will only be permitted on campus. Fire rescue study sites may be granted with explicit permission from the Head of Training.
Non-college e-social networking (Face book, Twitter, etc.) is also prohibited.
Full disclosure is expected by the student of any non-college relationship with an instructor, regardless of nature, e.g. business, neighbour, prior relationship, etc.
Your direct awareness of another student’s inappropriate behaviour is to be immediately reported to the Head of Training.
Your personal time (to include lunch) is never to be spent with an instructor, without explicit permission from the Head of Training.
