Is there a grace period for NREMT recertification?
No. NREMT standards require recertification every two years, with the annual cycle ending 31 March each year. Prior to 31 March of the second year following EMT certification soldiers must have earned 72 hours of CEU’s (which usually includes a 24 credit hour EMT Refresher Course), hold a current CPR card, and demonstrate skills proficiency during a hands-on test. SACMS-VT training tables 1-7 qualify for NREMT reregistration CEU’s and testing table 8 meets the NREMT skill validation requirement.
