I just got my notice to renew my E.M.T. Basic certification and on it it states that.

"Only certified EMS professionals who can document a minimum of 6 months active affiliation with an EMS service, may request inactive status. A certified EMS professional may not request inactive status in their initial re certification period if they have never been affiliated with an ambulance/rescue service or functioned in a patient health care setting."

I haven't been employed in the EMS field since I was certified in 2009. I was not at all aware of this requirement for NREMT. Is there anything I can do to re-cert without having to take the class over again? I come from an EMS family and I am still very confident in my E.M.T. skills.

Can anyone offer any advice or info?
 
Affiliate with a volunteer agency?


EMS agency doesn't mean paid EMS agency...

I'm sure tons of people will happily sign you on!

Go volunteer while you're looking for work! You don't want those skills to get rusty do you?
