certification

Hey everyone, Just wanted to come on here and shoutout the Massachusetts Office of Emergency Medical Services. They were super responsive to all my emails and phone calls. They always picked up after a ring or two; most importantly, there was no automated robot when I called. The EMS...

Hello all, I enrolled in a local technical college with the intention of becoming an EMT, then working as one for a year or so then going to medic school. The problem is 7 years ago I got arrested for an underage DUI charge after leaving a party, I was 19 years old. I was wondering if I can...

Hello, First time poster here, so hopefully I got the right forum for this, but I really need some feedback. I completed my EMT class just before summer began and obtained my NREMT license immediately after as I am eager to get started (I left my full time job as a store manager at Verizon...

Okay so I am a newly certified EMT-B. Im applying for ICEMA and all those certs. I unfortunately over 3 years ago got a DUI they did not convict me till a year later. There was no accidents or Injuries. It was minor. But still a DUI. I recently found out that the STATE is going to deny my...

Hi, i am an aspiring EMT about to start the process of becoming certified. My local community college in KS has a very good reputation regarding their EMS related programs. I am planning on moving to AR in the future, how would this work reguarding certification in AR? Would i have to take...

...but I haven't been able to google anything pertinent to my particular situation. Unlike many of the DUI posts which relate to recent conviction, mine is 10+ years ago from when I was 18. I know that this very serious mistake will stain my record for the remainder of my life, but I am hoping...

Hey there, I've recently been looking into becoming an EMT(PCP) in Alberta, Canada. Only thing is I took chemistry all through high school, last time I was studying the human body was in grade 9 honours science, I'm 19 now turning 20 in June of 2018, is it worth it for me to take general...

So, quick background, I passed my EMT-B back in early May this year and then my cognitive exam towards the end of the same month. We did all of our psychomotor skills tests throughout our course so the NREMT exam should have been my last step to getting my certification. I was so incredibly...

Hi, this is my first post. I am currently in an EMT training program in PA and love it! I like many things and yeah, Luke Skywalker is one of them haha. Now to the reason for this post: I have online certificates for 4 NIMS: 100, 200, 700, 800 and Hazmat Awareness. These were all free and...

Hi guys:), I just applied for my state and county roughly about a month ago (California, Orange County). I got my State card but I still haven't received the county card. I'm worried it got lost in the mail. Do you guys have any idea what I should do or who to contact? Also- Any suggestions...

So I took my third attempt at passing my psychomotor exam yesterday, and failed. Now I have to take remediation and try at all 12 skills. And the worst part is, I failed the basic skill, 3 times... it was one of the first skills I did on my initial test and I threw it off as nervousness, and...

Hey everyone, My name's Tom and I'm 22. I recently decided i want to pursue a career as a Paramedic. i was hoping anyone here on this site with experience can give me some advice on how to go about my education and what certifications i should get so as to make myself more appealing to employers...

When I was getting a physical, the PA offered to have me teach their CPR classes, and they give certified cards, but I am not certified to teach, so can I still actually teach their classes? I wouldn't know if my name would be on their card, or the PA's. They actually told me it's fine, but I...

So, I am currently a student in Colorado, and I (like everyone else in america) am wanting to become a paramedic. I have just graduated from Fire Academy I, and was about to enroll into EMT-B, but was not sure if I should wait and just do it in AU? I have tried to research everything I can and...

Hello, I took my classes in MA and just took my written exam Friday, assuming that I pass and I become certified I am concerned about moving to another state. I know that NREMT is a national certification but I am being faced with moving to Phoenix AZ very suddenly. I don't know how it works...

Hello, I am not sure if the is the correct place to post, I hope it is. My situation is the following: I got my EMT-B in 2010, renewed in 2012. I did not renew in 2014. From reading NREMT, it says "If your National EMS Certification lapsed as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) within a two...

Has anyone had their ACLS or PALS card rejected because the training center did not type your name in? I'm facing this now, and I don't get it. No other company has ever had a problem with any of my certs, but now I'm being told that I need to request a replacement because my name was...

I'm in the process of completing my requirements to get the appropriate certifications, and get employed, but California is definitely not making it easy to achieve. In order to get an EMS county card, I am required to have a completed DOJ/FBI Live Scan result. Before getting live scanned, I...
