Renewal

I have a year to go, but was thinking is it better to take the refresher class or do the con ed thing for the 48 hours?

I would love to do the con ed but the opportunity to attended any conference is limited by my real job. :sad: But if the thought that it is a better way then I could use some vacation.

However, most refresher classes are over a long period of time and far away from my house that will involve a lot of driving.

There is a lot of online continuing education available. If you can post here you can do online CE. You will keep up with changes easier that way as well.

In North Carolina your best bet will be a refresher course. Unfortunately you're really limited on time now, so you better get on it.

I've been in North Carolina for over a year now, but I still haven't attempted to transfer my cert from Michigan. It will be easier for me to fly back to Michigan, attend a one-day EMT-B refresher, and then fly back to NC. My cert expires in a year, so I'll attempt to transfer it once I get my new one in Michigan. That'll give me three years to keep up with North Carolina's fairly intensive renewal requirements.

In Michigan I used to do all of my CEUs online, but now they require practical credits. As far as I can tell North Carolina doesn't accept online CEUs.
