EMT and Paramedic Refresher Courses

Accredited by CAPCE and NREMT

An EMT Refresher and a Paramedic Refresher are specialized continuing education programs that help EMS professionals (Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics) renew their certification, maintain clinical competency, and stay updated with the latest standards of care.

They’re required by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) and NM state EMS agencies every 2 years to keep certification current.

1. EMT Refresher Course

Purpose

  • Ensures EMTs (basic-level providers) remain skilled in basic life support (BLS) and prehospital emergency care.

  • Covers updated guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) and state/national EMS protocols.

Typical Content

  • Airway, Breathing & Ventilation: Oxygen administration, airway adjuncts, BVM, suctioning.

  • Cardiology & Resuscitation: CPR, AED use, cardiac arrest management.

  • Medical Emergencies: Diabetic emergencies, allergic reactions, seizures, strokes.

  • Trauma Care: Bleeding control, splinting, shock management, spinal immobilization.

  • Special Populations: Pediatric, geriatric, and obstetric care.

  • Operations: EMS safety, mass casualty incidents, hazardous materials awareness.

Hours

  • Usually 20–40 hours total, depending on state requirements.

  • Can be classroom, hybrid, or fully online (with in-person skills check-off).

2. Paramedic Refresher Course

Purpose

  • Designed for advanced-level providers (ALS) with expanded responsibilities.

  • Ensures paramedics stay competent in advanced procedures and up-to-date with evolving science.

Typical Content

  • Advanced Airway Management: Intubation, supraglottic devices, capnography.

  • Cardiology: Advanced ECG interpretation, cardiac pharmacology, defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, transcutaneous pacing.

  • Pharmacology: Medication calculations, IV/IO access, drug administration updates.

  • Medical & Trauma Emergencies: Advanced pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, critical care management.

  • Special Populations: Neonatal resuscitation, pediatrics, geriatrics, obstetrics, psychiatric and behavioral emergencies.

  • Operations: Critical care transport, disaster response, EMS leadership roles.

Hours

  • Usually 30–60 hours (NREMT minimums apply through the NCCP model).

  • Often includes hands-on advanced skills labs, case scenarios, and simulations.

3. National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) Model

Both EMTs and Paramedics now follow the NCCP framework for recertification:

  • National Component: Core content updated every 4 years by NREMT (covers changes in guidelines and evidence).

  • Local/State Component: Determined by state or regional EMS authority.

  • Individual Component: Elective hours chosen by the provider (conferences, CE courses, specialty training).

4. Outcomes

  • On completion, providers receive documentation to submit to NREMT or their state EMS office.

  • Ensures continued clinical competency, legal compliance, and patient safety.

  • An EMT Refresher focuses on basic prehospital emergency skills (BLS level).

  • A Paramedic Refresher covers advanced life support skills, pharmacology, cardiology, and critical care interventions.

National Registry Board Makes Distributive Education Waiver Permanent

August 25, 2022

Board Approves Additional Resolutions 

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician’s Board of Directors announced that 22-Resolution-06, or the permanent removal of limits on Distributive Education, is approved following the 60-Day Comment Period. This resolution, which goes into effect on September 30, 2022, applies to all requirements for continuing education, including recertification, state license and re-entry eligibility requirements, and refresher training after three failed examinations. 

All EMTs, AEMTs and Paramedics due to recertify on March 31, 2023, and beyond, and EMRs due to recertify on September 30, 2023, and beyond, will have no limits on Distributive Education (or online continuing education). The removal of limits now allows all four levels of providers to accomplish continuing education online through any state-accepted or CAPCE-accredited program. Of course, in-person continuing education will continue to be accepted, too.   

“The limits on distributive education were initially waived due to the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Simply put, classrooms were not open or available,” said Bill Seifarth, the National Registry’s chief executive officer and executive director. “It became clear throughout the pandemic that many stakeholders wanted to retain the option for online education permanently.”
