I've looked around online and can't find the answer to this question:
I am currently a Virginia EMT-B. I hope to be going to college in California. What do I have to do to become a California EMT-B? If I get NREMT, can I automatically become a California EMT? Or do I have to take the entire California EMT class?

Thanks.
 
We're a National Registry state. If you show up at the county EMS agency (we're a county-by-county state) with your National Registry paperwork and a course completion certificate, you oughta be good to go.

How many hours was your course? I believe that we require a minimum of 110 hours.

Oh, wait. you're currently an EMT-B in VA. If you pass the National Registry, you'll be fine here. Just check with the EMS agency in the county that you're moving to.

what college are you going to?

I want to say that NREMT is enough, but when you get certified on the county level (which certifies you for the whole state), they ask for your EMT class certificate...I don't know if they accept out of state ones.

Thank you both. If all goes according to plan, I'll be taking the NR test soon.
 
There's actually a page on that site about reciprocity if you click around

What part of VA are you from?
 
The Eastern Shore

EDIT: Ok. I have no idea how I double posted. How do I delete this?
