FAQ

  • How long does it take to complete this certificate program?

    This program is self-paced and is designed to be completed over 6 weeks. For teams taking this program together, we recommend one module per week with the use of team discussion guides at weekly team meetings.

  • Once I complete this certificate, are there other programs that build on these topics?

    Yes! Have a look at our course offerings for more learning opportunities. We recommend or Micro-cert in Prehospital Preceptorship or Presentation Skills for Leaders and Educators courses.

  • Why should I invest in this course for myself or my staff?

    Many leaders come into their roles by having a solid amount of experience in their field but not always a foundation in leadership education. This program provides research and case-based courses that will help leaders strengthen their skills in effective and engaged leadership. The Micro-Cert in Engaged Leadership is an excellent highlight to your resume and a comprehensive addition to your organizations leadership orientation program.

  • I am planning to register a group of our staff, are there any multi-student pricing options?

    There sure are! We offer individual and group pricing for this course. See the registration link for details.

  • I want to take this course but I have a busy schedule, do I have to attend live classes?

    Leaders are BUSY! We created this program as an opportunity for leaders to broaden their education without the need to take days out of the office to attend a live training. While live training is an amazing way to learn, we chose to make this program asynchronous in order to prioritize accessibility for individuals and organizations. People tend to learn best when they feel they have time to engage in their educations and adding the commitment of live or in-person sessions doesn’t always fit into busy schedules. This program is self-paced with the opportunity to network with other leaders who are working through the course a the same time.

  • I really want to add this course to my resume! What are my options for payment?

    Individuals can register for the course independently (ask us about our professional association discount!). Group registration can receive group rates for 4+ students.

Course Feedback

“The goMedic preceptor course was a phenomenal source of adult education. This course fills a gap in paramedic education that hadn't yet been addressed. This course reduces the legal liability of the service taking on students whereby teaching their preceptor medics the foundations of adult education so that when students come to them with complaints, their quality assurance program can cite that in fact the preceptor has been properly trained and are solely responsible for their actions. Paramedic students riding out in a respective service is the best advertising a service can do to find students interested in working for them. By investing in the quality of Preceptorship the student receives, the service directly benefits by increasing a colleges interest in sending their students to the respective service. They also will receive a stronger more capable entry to practice Paramedic entering their service following Preceptorship. I learned several new effective strategies to managing conflict resolution in the adult education setting. I learned the new ways to motivate my students and provide constructive feedback. One of the big take-aways I received from this course was how to provide constructive feedback early and often so that the student is not surprised of how they are doing, how they are being measured and ultimately why the are possibly being deemed unsuccessful.”

SP, Advanced Care Paramedic

“"As an experienced preceptor - it was interesting to have the structure and models of teaching and mentoring put into a more structured framework to facilitate a more comprehensive approach to education of paramedic students. These are lessons that can be used to fall back on to promote the best learning experience and also to mitigate possible complications."”

Advanced Care Paramedic

“Great course! Should be completed by all preceptors, teachers, educators or training officers!”

TG, Training Officer

“Great review. Videos were quite helpful and relevant”

Mike, Preceptor

““For new preceptors and even for experienced, I believe this should be a mandatory course prior to taking on a student. Even with almost 20 years in the field and as an educator there is some new information learned. These modules provide valuable knowledge to pass down skills to start a student on their journey into the field of Paramedicine. A career can start or stop with preceptorship and an instructor who has these tools can provide them with a solid foundation and the mentoring that they require and deserve. Thank you for putting this course together as it has filled a gap in this profession.””

Marc, Advanced Care Paramedic & Training Officer
