thank you.

contacting the nremt directly will be your best bet or wait for Rid to answer, anyone else may possibly have no idea what they are talking about.

"Online" EMT and Paramedic refreshers...complete, get your completion letter, have someone sign you off at your base and you are good to go.

Basically you download the course, fill it out completely, mail it in for grading and then wait for your cert or if you call they will email a copy to you.

I have written about this many times before, used them several times personally for my medic cert while overseas and neither the state nor NR have had issue with it.

"Who's rid"?

Anyone else notice the silence?
My man, read some threads outside the military/wilderness department. Rid is amongst our pantheon of EMS gurus, and smart to boot.

NREMT does have some sort of provision for active military...please contact NREMT asap.

Ditto... Your expiration should not be up until March of next year, but as described notify them ASAP and they will work with you.
