CRTC Health Science Students Pass EMT Practical Exam



Health Science seniors (L to R) Jessica White, Kaylee Wentworth, Liz Pavnick, Lauren Martel, Yvette Kagirimpundu (back row), and Kaylee Magoon, Sarah Sponenberg, Braileigh Booker and Sarah Prouty (not photographed) have completed the CRTC EMT preparation program, which includes (in addition to classwork) 30+ hours of ambulance ride-along experience, and 4+ hours of clinical time working in the Concord Hospital Emergency Department. 


All nine students are pursuing National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians certification, which requires students to pass the cognitive (knowledge) and psychomotor (skills) exams to become certified. The CRTC students completed and passed the skills exam on their first attempt in late May, and testing for the cognitive portion of the test is ongoing. Thus far, Jessica White, Kaylee Wentworth, Lauren Martel and Sarah Sponenberg have passed both exams and are now nationally certified EMTs! Once certified, students become eligible to hire, after which they can become licensed to practice in the state where they work.

  Meeting the COVID Challenge: CRTC Automotive Technology COVID-19 has changed our lives in ways unimaginable just 11 months ago. And as we navigate this new reality, the students, teachers and staff at the Concord Regional Technical Center have been stepping up and sorting out the changes and challenges of providing a hands-on, career-focused education in the midst of a hands-off educational environment.

  April is Admissions Month at CRTC Over the past several weeks CRTC staff has had to make some pretty tough decisions as they’ve sifted through applications to determine the make up September’s Year I classes, and have carefully reviewed each first year student’s SPUR assessments to decide who would be invited back to complete their second year. Year I students and new applicants already should have received notification letters or emails that inform them of their status and provide instructions for next steps. Any student who has not yet received notification should talk to their CRTC teacher or call the CRTC office. Each year we have more qualified students than we have open seats in our programs, so it’s necessary to make some difficult decisions. Some students who are not outright accepted or invited back have been placed on a waitlist for any available openings before the next school year, or have been asked to sign a conditional contract, which outlines a number of steps student

  Meet Our Teachers:  Gail Beaudoin, Criminal Justice CRTC programs are a blend of rigorous academics and applied learning that provide students with the opportunity to explore their interests, talents and career ambitions.
