INSTRUCTOR & STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
Unitek Education requires students be made aware of, and to accept the following classroom teaching code of conduct policy
as part of a student enrollment requirement.
Medical and IT Training programs at Unitek Education are taught by certified and/or licensed instructors. Instructors are
required to teach in the nationally recognized English language. This is primarily due to the course curriculum and
courseware, which are also written and published in the English language.
The same can be said of students attending courses at Unitek Education. We request student to be respectful and
sympathetic of others during classroom training, by not speaking in another language other than the established English
language. This helps to identify students who may have problems in following the course curriculum and courseware.
If requested and authorized by an instructor, a student may translate in a foreign language, in tutoring a fellow classmate
who speaks the same language other than English.
There is a generally accepted definition of professional student conduct: behavior that reflects favorably on the Unitek
Student and the profession for which the student is training. Examples of unprofessional conduct include, but are not limited
to:
Verbal and Physical Altercations
Lying, Cheating, Plagiarism
Sexual Harassment
Vulgar and Offensive Language or Actions
Threats of Violence
Possession of weapons, alcohol or under the Influence of Illegal Drugs/Alcohol
Actions that violate State/Federal Law and/or Clinical/Extern Facility
All students must conform to federal, state, and local laws. They must respect the rights of others and conduct themselves in
a manner conducive to the educational purposes of Unitek. Certain activities are not considered appropriate to a campus,
and are prohibited by the administration of Unitek. No smoking or eating is permitted in classrooms, halls or labs. Drinking or
being in possession of or under the influence of alcoholic beverages or controlled substances while in training with Unitek is
prohibited. A student may be suspended from training to allow Unitek to conduct an investigation, or to cooperate in the
investigation conducted by law enforcement or other agencies if unprofessional or illegal behavior is suspected.

you have been expelled, you will remain suspended from all classes and clinical rotations pending the outcome of your
appeal.
COMPLAINT AND APPEAL POLICY

General Guidelines
You are encouraged to take advantage of this policy to address any complaints you may have regarding your experience at
Unitek. Though the faculty and administration are always concerned when a student is not satisfied with their course, Unitek
strictly requires all complaints to be handled using the steps outlined below. This process allows the school to take a
systematic approach to investigating, documenting, and resolving student issues in a prompt, fair, and consistent manner.
Most problems can be resolved in a short amount of time.
All complaints and appeals must be made in writing. Verbal complaints will not be accepted under any circumstances. If you
call Unitek to register a verbal complaint, you will be instructed to submit your complaint in writing in accordance with this
policy. You should include as many facts and relevant details as possible in your report. Remember, as in a clinical practice, it
isn’t documented, it didn’t happen. You should then submit your written complaint to Unitek Program Director, and forward
a copy to the Healthcare Operations Manager. In any case, Unitek strictly enforces a zero tolerance for any instructor
retaliation against a student who issues a complaint.
The following process is also used to handle the appeal of admission or disciplinary decisions. It is critically important to the
success of the school than any decision affecting the status of a student is thoroughly examined in an objective, fact oriented
manner.

7
Initiating a Complaint or Appeal
Before initiating a formal complaint, you should discuss the matter with your instructor.
Step 1
Once your written complaint or appeal is received, and investigation into the facts surrounding the complaint or appeal will
be conducted. Unitek will provide you a Notice of Decision within 7 days from the date the investigation is completed.
Step 2
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of STEP 1, you may proceed to STEP 2 by writing a Notice to Appeal within 10 days
of receipt. You may be contacted to appear at the Unitek offices to present your grievance to the Appeals Committee. The
Appeals committee consists of the School Director, Program Director, Clinical Coordinator, and the Healthcare Operations
Manager. Unitek will provide you a Notice of Decision within 7 days of the hearing date.
Unitek Education will be the sole judge of the quality of evidence revealed during the investigation, and the sole judge of
what constitutes unprofessional conduct. A student who is determined by Unitek to have violated the standards of
professional conduct will be terminated.
Confidentiality and Anti-Discrimination Statements

Students are expected to respect the rights of the patients/clients at all times, to treat clients consistent with the standard
of care and the education they have been provided, to never release information about clients to anyone outside of the
immediate health care team currently caring for that patient/client. All information gained for and about patients/clients at
clinical sites is confidential. A student’s failure to adhere to this standard of confidentiality will result in disciplinary action up
to and including permanent dismissal from the Emergency Medical Technology (EMT) program in which the student is
enrolled.
All patients/clients deserve dignity and respect and are to be treated equally, compassionately, and professionally regardless
of their illness, injury, race, beliefs, social status, etc. Any student who displays discriminatory practices with regard to
patient/client care will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including permanent dismissal from the EMT program.
Dress Code
Classroom Dress Code - You will be required to wear plain black, white, or dark blue polo shirts in the classroom and lab
settings. Insignia or print on the shirts is not allowed unless it represents Unitek Education or a current employer. Small
brand logos are acceptable. Acceptable pants include black or dark blue EMS style cargo pants, regular slacks or khaki's.
Jeans of any color are unacceptable and will not meet this standard. Footwear consisting of black boots or primarily black
tennis shoe with a black sole is also required. Open toe sandals or high heel footwear will not meet this standard.
Clinical Dress Code - You will be required to bring one (1) each of the following: Black polo, Navy Blue polo, White polo, and
black boots. Black or navy blue EMS pants are also a requirement. We use several clinical settings that all require different
dress codes for admittance, which makes this dress code policy a necessity. Be sure not to forget these items because there
will be no time to purchase them once you are here. They are mandatory for entry into the hospitals and ambulance setting.
Weather Emergencies
The school reserves the right to close during weather emergencies or other "acts of God." Under these conditions, students
will not be considered absent. Instructors will cover any missed material to ensure completion of the entire program.

8
Clothing & Personal Property
All personal property is the sole responsibility of the student, and the school does not assume liability for any loss or damage.
Clothing and other small items should be marked clearly with the student's name and address. Vehicles should always be
locked to avoid theft. No Visitors on Campus/Training Site. Unitek Managing Officials need to pre-approve special visitation
circumstances.
Attendance
Regular class attendance and participation is required if the student is to successfully complete the course of study. It is
understood that a student may need to miss a class due to personal illness, death in the family, etc. With this in mind,
students are allowed to miss a maximum of twelve (12) hours of absence, regardless of the reason. There are no “excused”
versus “unexcused” absences. You have a maximum of twelve (12) hours total, so use them wisely. There are no exceptions
to this mandate.
Tardy arrivals or early departures constitute one (1) hour of absence each. If you arrive more than five (5) minutes late or
leave more than five (5) minutes prior to the dismissal of class, it counts as one hour of absence.
Failure to adhere to the attendance policy may result in immediate dismissal from the Emergency Medical Technician
training program. Upon missing more than twelve (12) hours of scheduled course time, Unitek’s National Registry
guarantee shall be come invalid and that student may be terminated from the Emergency Medical Technician training
program.
Clinical Requirement
Each student is required to complete a minimum of one (1) clinical observation shift during which they must document no
less than five (5) patient contacts. Contact will be recorded on a generic Patient Care Report issued by Unitek. In the event
that a student does not obtain five (5) patient contacts during their assigned shift, they will need to be rescheduled for
additional clinical observation time to meet that requirement. A paper outlining the clinical experience will also be required
of students.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
All Unitek students are expected to make satisfactory academic progress, as demonstrated in exams, skills sessions and
through course participation. EMT students are required to maintain a minimum 70% to remain in the course. Students
who are unable to maintain 70% during the course will not be allowed to successfully complete the course. Through the
progression of the course, a minimum overall average grade of 75% is required to successfully pass the course. If the
overall average grade upon the end of the course is not at or exceeding 75%, the student fails the course.
The graded items, as noted in the syllabus, include nine (9) quizzes, two (2) tests, one (1) final exam and a participation
grade. While the quiz, test and exam are graded on an objective basis, the participation grade is subjective. The
participation grade will be based on attendance, adherence to Unitek student requirements and policies, attitude, homework
completion and involvement in didactic, skills and clinical training. Input will be received from skills and lead instructors to
determine the participation grade.
The grade breakdown is as follows:
Graded Item Possible Points Total Percentage

Quizzes (20pts x 9) 180 25%
Tests (150pts x 2) 300 30%
Final Exam 150 35%
Participation 100 10%
Total: 730 100%

9
Quizzes and examinations are scheduled in advance for the entire course, as noted on the syllabus. The schedule is a
guideline of when the exams may be given and can be changed with the discretion of the lead instructor. Each quiz will
consist of 20 questions and each test and the final exam will consist of 150 questions. The questions may be multiple choice,
true false, fill in the blank or short answer format. Correct spelling is required to receive credit for an answer.
Quizzes and examinations are not allowed to be taken if missed or re-taken if failed. There is no exception to this policy. If a
student is late for a quiz or examination or fails to be present on the day of quiz or examination, the student will receive a
grade of zero (0) for the quiz or examination. This is not contestable.
Skill completion is a vital part of this medical certification program. In the field of Emergency Medical Services, a person’s
ability to successfully complete a skill can mean the difference between life and death in a patient. Skills sessions shall last
four hours on the prescribed days and shall be taken seriously. Skills will be demonstrated to the course as a whole, then
again at each individual skill station. Once the skill is demonstrated, it is the student’s responsibility to utilize team members
to practice the skill to obtain competency and ultimately mastery of the skill at hand. Skills instructors will be present to
correctly show the skill and to assist in the learning process. Down time during skills is not allowed, except during breaks.
Skills time is a very hands on experience in which students will learn to use medical devices as well as properly assess
patients. This will involve students touching each other in a professional way to asses each other as they would properly and
professionally touch a patient. Inappropriate touching is not acceptable and will result in disciplinary action.
Skills testing is based on a pass/fail basis and not included in the final grade. Active participation in daily skills is required and
included in the participation grade. Skills sheets, outlining how to successfully complete a skill, will be given to every
student. The skills sheets given to students are the same skills sheets that students will be tested from. Critical points and
failures shall be noted at the bottom of each skill sheet. The time allotted for the testing of each skill is also noted and shall
be strictly adhered to during testing. The inability to complete a skill in the time allotted will result in failure of the skill.
Failure of skills testing, as defined below, will not allow for successful completion of the course.
Skills testing:
Students will be tested on six (6) skills and have the potential to be tested on any of the skills gone over during the
course.
Each skill must be successfully passed to receive credit for course completion
Students will have two opportunities to pass each skill. If the skill is failed, time will be given for remediation
purposes and the student shall retest the failed skill the same day.
Students failing one skill two (2) times or failing three (3) different skills stations will result in failure from the
course. Failing one skill two times would mean that the student failed the skill, remediated, retested and failed the
skill the second time. Failing three different skills stations would mean that a student failed three different skills
one (1) time.
Students who are not able to successfully pass the skills portion of the course will not receive a course completion
certification and be allowed to take the National Registry examination, no matter what the overall grade is for the
course.
These rules are based on National Registry standards and are not negotiable.
Completion of ten (10) clinical hours on an ambulance or in a hospital is required to obtain certification. These hours, if not
completed, will result in failure from the course. Five patient contacts are also required for successful completion of the
clinical segment of this course. A paper outlining the patient contacts and interventions given will be required and will be
included in the participation grade.
Challenge by Examination:
The EMT course can be challenged by examination. The student wishing to challenge the course must show an extensive
history of prior medical training and the decision to allow for a challenge by examination is at the discretion of the county
they desire certification in. In Alameda County, those wishing to challenge the EMT-1 examination need to be physicians,
physician assistants, registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, or have completed military training as explained in Title
22, Division 9, Chapter 2. Consult your local county to determine the requirements to challenge the course.

10
Break Time Code of Conduct

all break periods during classroom training hours. During break time students need to abide by both California State and

Emergency Medical Technician – Basic
Unitek College
14-Day Course Syllabus
Contact Hours: 130 Hours
Days of Course: Fourteen consecutive days starting on a Sunday at 0800 hours. Daily course time is from 0800 –
2000 hours (8am to 8pm).
Location of Course: 39150 Cedar Boulevard; Newark, CA for thirteen days of the course. One day of clinical time will
be scheduled and the student will be notified of its location in advance. Main Campus Location:
4670 Auto Mall Parkway, Fremont, California 94538
Course:
This course is a medical certification course taught in accordance with the 1994 National Department of Transportation
Emergency Medical Technician – Basic curriculum and the regulatory requirements established by the State of California,
Title 22. The successful completion of an Emergency Medical Technician course, in addition to other requirements, is the
minimum needed to work on an ambulance or for most fire departments. This fast-paced course is designed to prepare
students to successfully complete the licensing examination administered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical
Technicians (NREMT).
The course uses a combination of classroom lecture, practical skills laboratory and clinical experience to accomplish the
cognitive, psychomotor and affective objectives of the program. Students must demonstrate mastery of both written and
practical material to successfully complete the program.
Course completion is only the first step in becoming an employable Emergency Medical Technician – Basic. To assist you in
becoming credentialed, Unitek College offers successful graduates of this program the opportunity to sit for the National
Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians written examination. This test is the required for certification as an Emergency
Medical Technician. The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians is a testing and registration service that is
accepted by most states in lieu of their own examination process.
Upon successfully passing the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician’s examination and registration process,
you may make an application to your local county/state Emergency Medical Services Agency. Individual agencies may have
additional requirements to become authorized to practice as an Emergency Medical Technician, including application
completion, additional fees and criminal background checks.
Pre-Requisites:
Students must be eighteen (18) years of age or older and hold a valid high school diploma or General Equivalency Diploma
(GED). The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and individual county protocols require that in order to be
eligible for testing that one must be able to read, write and speak the English language and be free of any disabilities that
would prevent the candidate from performing as an Emergency Medical Technician.
Students with any past criminal history are encouraged to discuss the circumstances with the lead instructor. Eligibility for
certification as an Emergency Medical Technician – Basic is based on a criminal record free of felonies, alcohol and/or drug
related offenses and certain misdemeanors. A criminal record is not an automatic disqualification, but further questions
should be directed to the local Emergency Medical Services agency to discuss specific situations.

Academia and Classroom Misconduct:
The instructor has the primary responsibility over classroom and behavior maintenance of academic integrity. The instructor
can order the temporary removal or exclusion from the classroom of any student engaged in disruptive conduct or conduct
violative of the general rules and regulations of instruction. Extended or permanent exclusion from the classroom and
further disciplinary action can be effected only through appropriate procedures of the college.
Plagiarism, cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty are strictly prohibited. Students guilty of academic misconduct,
either directly or indirectly through participation or assistance, are immediately responsible to the instructor of the course.
In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions, which may be imposed through the institutional procedures as a result of
academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign a zero (0) for an activity or to dismiss the student from the
course.
Classroom Rules:
Weapons of any type (handguns, knives or any other personal defense items) are not to be carried into the building under
any circumstances.
No food is to be consumed in the classroom. Non-alcoholic drinks in spill-proof containers are acceptable.

NOTICE OF CANCELLATION: INITIALS:
You have the right to withdraw from Unitek at any time. You have the right to cancel within three business days of signing the agreement
with a full refund of monies paid. You have the right to cancel your agreement prior to class starting to receive a full refund less the
registration fee of $75. You have the right to cancel the agreement after the class has begun as per the cancellation period below:
Cancellation period (after class begins):
A. Programs under 50 days, 1 business day for each 10 program days to cancel
(Example: For a 10 day class, cancellation must occur by the end of the first day)
B. Programs over 50 days, cancellation must occur by the end of the fifth business day following the first class. Business day means a day
on which you were scheduled to attend a class.
If you withdraw from your program after the cancellation period mentioned above, Unitek will remit a refund less registration fees (not to
exceed $75), uniform fees, used textbooks/workbooks, lab fees, service charges, and education services rendered within 30 days following
your cancellation. The refund shall be the amount you paid for instruction (tuition) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of hours of instruction which you have not received but for which you have paid, and the denominator of which is the total
number of hours of instruction for which you have paid.
Refund Calculations:
(Tuition – Non-Refundable Fees) x (# of Hrs of Instruction Paid for and not received) = Refund Amount
(# of Hours Paid For)
For the purpose of determining the amount you owe, you shall be deemed to have withdrawn from a program when any of the following
occurs: (a) you notify Unitek of withdrawal or the actual date of withdrawal, (b) Unitek terminates your enrollment, (c) you fail to attend
classes for fourteen consecutive class or clinical days, (d) you fail to return from a leave of absence. For the purpose of subdivision ‘a’ of
California Section 94869 and for determining the amount of the refund, the date of the student's withdrawal shall be deemed the last date
of recorded attendance.
Cancellation is effective when written notice of cancellation is given to the Admissions Director of Unitek Education, 4670 Auto Mall
Parkway, Fremont, CA 94538. You can cancel in person, by certified mail, or registered mail. A notice of cancellation is effective when
deposited in the mail if it is properly addressed, registered or certified, and has postage prepaid. The notice need not take any particular
form; it needs only to state that you wish to cancel the agreement. You will be given two notices of cancellation forms on the first day of
class. If you cancel this agreement, Unitek will process your refund within 30 days after your notice is received. REMEMBER, YOU MUST
CANCEL IN WRITING.
If Unitek has given you equipment, unmarked books or supplies, you shall return it to Unitek within 30 days following the date of your
notice of cancellation, or your last day of attendance. If you fail to return this equipment in good condition, within the 30-day period,
Unitek may retain the documented cost (or the market price if no cost is documented) of the listed equipment and deduct the cost from
any refund that may be due to you. If the amount that you owe is more than the amount that you paid, then you will have to pay the
additional amount. Once you pay for the equipment, it is yours to keep without further obligation.
If any portion of the tuition was paid from loan proceeds, the refund will be sent to the lender or agency that guaranteed the loan. Any
remaining refund amount will first be used to repay any student financial aid programs from which you received benefits, to the extent of
benefits received. Any remaining amount will be paid to you. PLEASE NOTE: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT/BORROWER TO
CANCEL THEIR LOAN.
Start Date Ending Date Not later than

[Enter midnight of the date that is the fifth business day following the day of the first class or the day the first lesson was received; or, if the
program is fifty or fewer days, midnight of the date that is one business day for every 10 days of scheduled program length, rounded up for
any fractional increment thereof; or, if the lesson was sent by mail, the eighth business day following the day of mailing, whichever is
applicable]
