Online CE's

I'm looking to get online CE's to renew my California paramedic license. I've Google some companies, but none of them seem to offer the right programs. Does anyone have experience with this?

Hello zzyzx, what type of program are you looking for exactly? In California, you just need to look for programs that are state or CECBEMS approved. Additionally, if the program is instructor-based (meaning you can call an instructor to ask questions), then you can earn all your hours online. I work for Medic-CE. We offer instructor-based CECBEMS approved online CE.

You can find a list of other providers on the following link, if you want to shop around. We do offer a free MedicAlert course if you want to register and try us out. Once registered, go to the course library and select free medicalert course. Note that this course has a timer, and you must spend the required amount of time in the course. Our courses do not have this requirement.

Hope this helps.

Basically, if the site is CECBEMS accredited, it's good to go. I've used CE Solutions and CE3000 in the past.

If you're looking for another list, here ya go: http://www.emsa.ca.gov/personnel/files/ceprov.htm

That list is also the approved list. Take special note of the highlighted entries as those have expired. This list should be updated when the list is updated, so it should be fairly accurate.

If it's applicable to your care, you can also use college coursework, 15 CE for 1 Semester Unit. My 4 unit Micro class was good for 60 CE... way back when.

Thank you!

I've used both http://www.ems-ce.com/ and http://www.medic-ce.com/ with great results. Of the two I personally like http://www.medic-ce.com/ better.

Depending on your state requirements, you may only be allowed to take a certain number of credits online. I know the NREMT only allows a certain number of credits online.

Good luck!

I tried the University of Utah's site. Course content was weak to say the least. I would stay away from their offerings.

Hi ZZYZX

Thank you!

Hi ZZYZX,
Could not reply to your PM, as I have not posted 5 times yet. But, Yes most of our courses are based on the DOT curriculum.

Do you think that other college level courses in math, chemistry, psychology, or sociology could be counted towards CE? I've never heard of this before, and I'm an undergrad now with a soon to expire ticket.
