摘要
Due to the implementation of a performance-based funding plan, community colleges in North Carolina must attain a minimum percentage of students successfully passing licensure and certification examinations. To meet this mandate, Catawba Valley Community College implemented a basic skills component, with minimum academic standards, to assist students in achieving success. This study found these measures significant in improving student pass rates on the EMT-Basic certification examination, despite nonsignificance related to student age or education levels.
