Re-certify your EMT with Pelham Trainings 36-hour EMT Refresher
The EMT refresher course at Pelham is carried out in alignment with the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) standards. The EMT National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) stipulates that 40 hours of continuing education are required for re-certification.
This framework requires continuing education in three distinct components:
- A national component
- A local/state component
- An individual component
This course fulfills the National Component requirement of 20 hours, along with an additional 16 hours that can be allocated to Local/State or Individual categories. The 20-hour component is eligible for remediation for students who require further testing with the cognitive exam.
The Pelham Training EMT Refresher Course is designed to be fast-paced yet easy to understand.
As with all Pelham classes, we provide a balanced combination of classroom instruction, demonstrations, and real-time scenarios to maintain student engagement. Expect to spend more time actively participating than sitting down.
Our EMT Refresher Course presents the latest evidence-based information, which is first introduced in the classroom and then applied in scenario-based training through a blend of Problem Based Exercises (PBE), high fidelity simulations, and tabletop drills.
The concepts covered in the EMT Refresher Course are a collection of guidelines that merge operational and medical requirements into a unified set of best practices tailored for out-of-hospital care and management by EMTs.
The main objectives of the course include:
- Fulfilling the refresher requirements
- Enhancing the application of Medical Operations Handbooks
- Introducing new content while also revisiting existing practices
- Providing practical information that can be utilized right away
Classes are scheduled for three days from 08:00 to 20:00, with an overnight assignment on the first day that can be completed in class if time allows.
You will be actively engaged in your training throughout this course. Our aim is to deliver information that is logical, easy to retain, and applicable to your next patient.
We cannot accomplish it for you, but we will achieve it together with you!
