Completing Continuing Medical Education classes is the primary method that EMTs pursue in order to be eligible for recertification every two years. With Massachusetts' switch to the NREMT's Continued Competency Program (NCCP), BLS providers must now complete a total of 40 hours of continuing education classes broken down as follows:
20 hours of NATIONAL Continued Competency Requirements
10 hours of LOCAL Continued Competency Requirements
10 hours of INDIVIDUAL Continued Competency Requirements
Here is a powerpoint that details how to upload completed contuining education on to the NREMT website.
NUEMS will offer continuing education classes that fulfill NCCP requirements. Any classes open to the public will be posted in the section below. For more information contact our Continuing Medical Education Coordinator at nuemseducation@gmail.com.

The NCCR includes specific topics and outlines which are provided to instructors by the National Registry in the National Continued Competency Requirements (NCCR) EMT and Paramedic Education Guides. NUEMS provides the NCCR course on a needs based basis and may not be offered every year. NCCR courses can be found throughout the metro Boston area.

A: You should use your MA licence number when signing MA sponsored continuing education courses. This includes all NUEMS continuing education courses.
Can I receive continuing education course credit with NUEMS if I am not a MA EMT?
A: Unfortunately, no. You must have a MA EMT licence to qualify for MA sponsored continuing education credit.
Help! I forgot to sign the roster. What should I do?
A: Don't panic! Email your training officers at nuemseducation@gmail.com and let them know that you forgot to sign the roster. They will cross check with the sign in sheet and bring it to the next meeting for you to sign.
