The EMT Refresher Training allows New York City area Emergency Medical Technicians to renew their certification. The EMT refresher training course is designed to help the EMT refresh previously learned material and learn the latest and most updated information on protocol changes and policy.
The course is offered in the challenge model, which allows us to evaluate the current skill and knowledge of the refreshing EMT student and customize the course to meet the needs of each student. At the beginning of the EMT refresher class, students take a “challenge” exam to determine what material they need to review. Based on the results of the challenge examination, we develop a customized schedule for each student, which indicates which sessions the student will be required to attend.
Students who complete all course requirements will take the NYS EMT-Basic Certification exams to renew their certification.
You should take the EMT-Basic refresher course if you:
If your certification expires within 9 months, you should enroll in an EMT refresher course in NYC immediately. Delaying your registration may result in missed deadlines due to course availability and state exam scheduling.
We often receive calls from EMTs whose certification is on the verge of expiring. They typically plead with us to help them. Unfortunately, due to course schedules and state written exam dates, it’s not always possible. As a result, we encounter too many EMTs who cannot work because their certification has lapsed.
Under present NYS-DOH regulations, once your certification expires, you may not work or volunteer as an EMT until you hold a new, valid EMT card. Furthermore, there is no grace period. The only time you are allowed any grace period is if you take the state-written certification exam during the month your certification expires; in this case, you may work or volunteer as an EMT until you receive your new certification card.
Please watch your expiration date carefully. You can take your state-written certification exam up to 9 months before your card expires. Your new certification card will have up to 9 months of remaining time from your old card added to it. This, in effect, allows you to enroll in a refresher at least 10 months before your card expires and retain any remaining time from your old card. More importantly, it ensures that there is no lapse in your certification or in your ability to work/volunteer.
