How do I gain certification in Arizona as an EMT-B, EMT-I, or EMT-P?
EMT certification is available for EMT-Basics, EMT-Intermediates (99), and EMT-Paramedics. To apply for two-year initial EMT certification in Arizona, you must have current registration from the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) and must have successfully completed a Department-approved training course. If you have current EMT certification or licensure in another state or jurisdiction, have current NREMT registration, or have current NREMT reregistration eligibility, you may apply for initial two-year Arizona EMT certification after completing an Arizona ALS refresher or EMT-B refresher rather than an Arizona EMT-B, EMT-I(99), or EMT-P course. If you hold current NREMT registration as an EMT-Basic or EMT-Paramedic, but have not yet completed an Arizona ALS refresher or EMT-B refresher, you may apply for one temporary 6-month EMT-B or EMT-P certification. Temporary 6-month EMT certification may be extended for 18 months after an EMT completes an Arizona ALS ref
