Create and Document Labs Video

As a student, you may need to complete labs for your class. When you go to the My Labs page you will see Upcoming, Ready to Document, Submitted, Approved, Rejected, and All tabs.

The top blue links listed: View EMT Competency Skills and View Individual Progress (this view can vary by program type), are the sequence of learning progression. Both groups of skills are there to help you monitor your progress in performing each skill successfully and will visually show you when you have completed the skill(s) needed in each area to progress to the next.
