What is the NREMT Exam?

The NREMT exam is a mandatory certification test for EMTs seeking national recognition and eligibility to practice in many U.S. states, including New York. It consists of two parts:

  • Cognitive Exam: A computer-adaptive multiple-choice test covering EMS knowledge and critical thinking.
  • Psychomotor Exam: A practical skills test where you demonstrate hands-on emergency care procedures.

Passing both parts is essential to becoming a certified EMT.

Our NREMT Course Includes:
