I am not an EMT...yet. I am taking my course this summer though. I've been trying to figure out how all the recertification **** works. I know that there has to be continuing education hours completed, skill competencies, and be actively working. First off, I plan to let my NREMT lapse and just keep my Ohio certification (a lot less CE hours, Ohio doesn't require to keep it, and I don't plan on moving). So that leaves just 24 CE hours to complete. Can all of these be done online? Or could I just do an online 24 hour refresher course? Or does some of it have to be completed in person? As far as actively working, I plan to volunteer; but I work as an ER tech right now, so would that be considered "working/using skills of an EMT"? For skills competencies checks, if I just keep my job as an ER tech, how am I supposed to do these checks? Can I just go to a local FD/life squad to get checked or are there certain classes to do this?
The whole recertification process seems like it's going to be more of a pain in the *** than the actual course. Thanks to all who view and reply!
