The student agrees on the demonstration of competences with the course supervisor in the semester preceding the course (no HOT application to Peppi is required). The student agrees on the demonstration of competence with the teacher responsible for the course in the semester preceding the course. No application for admission is made via HOT application in Peppi. AHOT performance will be assessed on a pass/fail scale. A request for approval of previous studies is submitted to Peppi if the student has completed similar studies at a higher education institution. If you wish to audit all first and second year paramedic studies, you must have at least one year of work experience in basic level paramedic (ambulance) within the last three years in addition to one of the above qualifications. This is done by completing an assessment of basic level paramedic skills, including a written portfolio of skills, a theory test and practical demonstrations in simulated paramedic situations. The assessment must always be agreed in advance with the paramedic teacher. |
