Hello everyone. Hopefully this question is not already answered. I looked around the site and couldn't find it.
I was looking at medic schools at work the other day and a co-worker recommended I try out the school he goes to. The only thing is that his school is not CAAHEP accredited and thus I can not sit for the NREMT exam. I mentioned this to him and he stated that as long as you complete the program and pay $300 you can sit for the NREMT exam. I have never heard anything like that before but I wanted to check with the forum. Is this true? Also, is there anything a paramedic can do if they complete a non-accredited program and then wish to take the NREMT test to become a nationally registered paramedic?
