In my EMT-B class we completed a course and got a certificate for EMS driving. They told us we could go ahead and send off for our license however in the paperwork it had a place for an NREMT number. Our teacher knew very little about what we needed to do and kind of left us hanging on that. What I am wondering is do I have to pass the NREMT before I send of to get my license or can I do that now.
