Does the Intermediate and Paramedic course completion meet the requirements for EMT-Basic?
Completion of the didactic portion of the EMT-Intermediate program can be applied, on an hour per hour basis, toward Section II continuing education requirements for EMT-Basic recertification. Only the topics and hours that correspond directly to the United States Department of Transportation National Standard EMT-Basic curriculum may be applied to Section IA refresher requirements for EMT-Basic recertification. Completion of the didactic portion of an approved Paramedic education program will satisfy the Section IA refresher requirements and the Section II continuing education requirements for EMT-Basic recertification.
