NREMT and State cert

[Sandog]

Here in California you only need to pass the NREMT once to get your county/state certification for EMT-B, or whatever the title is now. Once you get your state cert you no longer need to have the NREMT. Anyways, I have kept my county/state cert current but let my NREMT expire.
Now if I wanted to once again become nationally registered could I just challenge and retake the test? Just wondering.

For the EMT level you need to take a 24 hour refresher course, the written (computer based) test, and the skills test.

I took a 24 hr refresher for my state cert, I was told I would need an additional 48 hours for NREMT. As long as I stay in Ca, it hardly makes sense to go through hoops for NREMT.

Thanks for the link, will check it out.

Ya theres no point doing the NREMT if you don't plan to move to a state that requires it over your state cert.
