Are you looking for in person classes or online? Willing to pay? I this for the current recertification cycle (exp 4/1/2013). If so, your con Ed had to be completed by 12/31 or you are not eligible to recertify.

If your certification lasts longer, there are many, many options for con Ed in the state. Virtually every accredited training institution holds classes open to the public, and if you PM me, I'm happy to direct you to particular websites. Look at my post two weeks or so ago about (mostly free) online con Ed accepted by MAOEMS.

Hope this helps,

Dan

Okay,I'll cave. Here's my post from two weeks ago...

Bound Tree University has in the past, and to my knowledge, continues to be eligible as MA Con-Ed (under CentreLearn and 24-7EMS). Other free con Ed providers accepted in MA include the following, but note that you may have to print the course completion certificate and send to OEMS by mail, with your name and certification number.

Mediced.com (pay per credit)
http://www.medic-ce.com/ (also pay, but some free courses)
http://emcert.com/tour-free.aspx
http://americancme.com/ (all free, but not necessarily approved in MA. A risk, but worth completing the courses and sending completion certs to OEMS anyway...)

A reference for all courses that hold blanket approval in MA can be found here... http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dph/emergency-services/continuing-education-list.pdf
And all one time classes here

Good luck!
