Hey I was wondering, when I get my National Certification EMT-B what is the next step and how to get my Texas Certification?

 

[Code 3]

Exam

• For information about National Registry computer-based testing (CBT), visit our Exam Information page.
• You are responsible for meeting NR application and fee requirements, as well as any other requirements necessary for gaining NR certification.
• The NR office will notify you of your exam score and, if necessary, will provide retest instructions.

State Certification Status

• After you take the exam you may monitor the certification search page for your state certification status. http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/emstraumasystems/NewCert.shtm The web page will not show your exam score. It will provide state application status information, such as "Certified" if you pass the exam AND all requirements have been met, or "Pending deficiencies" if there are deficiencies on your state application. The state office will not receive notice of your NR deficiencies. NR will contact you directly.
• If you have questions about your state application deficencies, please contact our office at 512-834-6769.
• If you have questions on exam content, grade subscales or additional copies of grade reports, contact National Registry.
• If you need an exam accommodation, you will be required to submit a separate request to the NR office. You will be required to meet the NR policy requirements for exam accommodations.

Certificate

• You can expect to receive your Texas certificate/license and ID card approximately four to six weeks after submitting your COMPLETED state application form, if all requirements are met. If your application is incomplete, your certification will be delayed.
• You can monitor your state certification status online: Check cerification status

Contact us

• If you have questions about your state certification/license status, you may contact us at emscert@dshs.state.tx.us; 512-834-6769 (phone); or 512-834-6714 (fax).
• Written correspondence can be mailed to: Department of State Health Services, Attn: EMS, MC2003, PO Box 149347, Austin, Texas 78714-9347 .

The first section outlines the NREMT exam process. Once you've obtained your NREMT certificate, simply skip down to State Certification Status and follow the guidelines.
