Continuing Education
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
For more information on recertification and this process, please take a look at this presentation that was compiled by our friends at BUEMS: Recertification Presentation
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.
