Retention Rates
Retention Rates are calculated annually for certain programs and are an expression of how many students successfully complete a program compared to the number of students who began the program. The metric does not include data regarding pre-census candidates, candidates who never achieved full enrollment or students who did not complete the program as a result of an “excluded” circumstance as defined by the institution’s accreditors.
Paramedic Program Retention Rates
- 2020 90% Retention
- 2021 84% Retention
NREMT Pass Rates
Axon Education Consortium and Texas EMS School tracks student outcomes related to success with National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) examination results for both the Psychomotor and Cognitive Examinations. Additionally student retention and employment statistics are maintained for accreditation purposes.
NREMT Cognitive Examination
The following statistics represent students who graduated from an Axon – Texas EMS School course who attempted the NREMT exam. Data for students who pass the exam is collected routinely throughout the year, however data for those who fail the exam can only be finalized after the end of a 24 month waiting period and is often published in February two years following the end of each calendar year. This means that data for the two most recent calendar years may be incomplete. Note also that this data does not include students who passed an Axon course but chose NOT to attempt the appropriate NREMT exam. The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) publishes a similar but not identical statistic.* “None” indicates that there were no students for that particular reporting period.
