How Long Does It Take for the NREMT to Approve Recertification?

Emergency Siren How Long Does It Take for the NREMT to Approve Recertification

We know that one of the most stressful aspects of meeting the NREMT recertification requirements is often not the studying itself but the waiting and refreshing your inbox anxiously to see whether your recertification application has been approved!

Depending on your recertification approach and the completeness of your application, you’ll usually hear back within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, although processing times can vary greatly and can take longer if there are any queries or you need to submit further evidence. If you’re hoping to bypass the delays and gain recertification as seamlessly as possible, it’s time to register for the newly released CAPCE-accredited recertification program from The Paramedic Coach!

How Does the NREMT Recertification Course Work?

The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) sets standards that dictate the number of hours of continued professional development you’ll need to complete every two years, which are currently:

  • Sixteen hours for EMRs
  • Forty hours for EMTs
  • Fifty hours for AEMTs
  • Sixty hours for paramedics

There may be a difference between NREMT and state recertification rules, with some states setting specific content areas you’ll need to cover within the local component of your study, but otherwise, these requirements are fairly standardized. One of the complexities we hear about so often is finding the time to attend a recertification course, fitting in further education around working hours, and then navigating the NREMT website to ensure you’ve submitted every relevant document or certificate.

Our recertification program is based on our trademark immersive, video-style content, configured and structured to meet every learning requirement at each level, from EMR to paramedic. Best of all? Once you’ve worked through the videos in your own time, answered the quizzes, and submitted your evaluation form, we’ll send you your recertification confirmation immediately, leaving you to focus your time elsewhere!

The Benefits of the NREMT Recertification Study Program From The Paramedic Coach

We’ve helped more than 40,000 students fly through their studies, achieve first-time passes on the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) examinations, and become fully licensed, certified professionals, and we know what works and what doesn’t. Alongside finding a way to make recertification faster and more straightforward, we wanted to develop a self-paced study program that provided freedom and convenience without hours spent in dry lectures or trawling through textbooks.

Our approved course means you can confidently meet your study requirements, receive your certification instantly, and study in your own time, whether you’re a fast learner or want to take a little extra time to ensure you’re up to speed. If you’re stressed about time pressures and complying with recertification requirements, are unsure how to prove you’d covered all the components in your study, or don’t know why your NREMT recertification was denied, we’re here to assist.

Not only will you get a whole year’s access to work on meeting the continued professional development requirements as is most convenient for you, but we’re also here to help if you have a query, have a burning question, or want independent advice about how to overcome a stumbling block. Our engaging video content covers all the national, local, and individual components, so you can progress knowing you’ve studied all the relevant content. This eliminates guesswork or panic that you’ve missed something crucial right before your recertification deadline!

Obtaining NREMT Certification Through a CAPCE-Accredited Course

Accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Prehospital Continuing Education (CAPCE) is a stamp of approval. This organization accredits and validates the quality and relevance of professional educational programs.

Why does CAPCE accreditation matter? Put simply, it means that all the content aligns with the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) and is structured specifically for emergency medical professionals, meaning you’ll never be a recertification candidate whose application is rejected because the study you’ve completed doesn’t correspond with those standards.

When you enroll, you’ll also receive seven completely free downloadable guides as our gift to you. These guides shed light on the recertification process and clarify what you’ll need to do to complete the study hours relevant to your NREMT certification level.

Those guides are created to enhance your comprehension and give you a speedy, at-a-glance summary of everything we’ve covered, working through the five national elements–the same topics you’ll have studied before for the NREMT exam–and, of course, the local and individual components.
