Paramedic Refresher Course: Renew your certification


Re-certify through Pelham Trainings Paramedic Refresher Course (Civilian)


NCCP National Component – 5 Day Course

The Paramedic Refresher course is designed for individuals who are already certified as Paramedics and require re-certification. Students who need hours to qualify for the NREMT (National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians) exams must enroll in one of our Prep Week Courses.

General Information:

The Paramedic Refresher course is a five-day program focused on continuing education. It complies with the National Registry standards as per the National Core Competency Program (NCCP). However, credit for the course is contingent upon approval from your local Medical Director. At the end of the course, Pelham will provide a detailed breakdown of topics and hours for CEUs.

This refresher course is exclusively for NCCP hours and does not encompass ACLS or BLS/CPR, which should be included in separate continuing medical education.

We offer a well-rounded mix of classroom learning, demonstrations, and real-time scenarios to maintain student engagement!

The most up-to-date evidence-based information is delivered in the classroom and subsequently applied in scenario-based training with high-fidelity simulations. Consequently, the Paramedic Refresher Course is conducted at a brisk pace. Students are often out of their seats, engaging in a variety of exercises that range from basic training lanes to full scenarios that cover Emergency Medical Protocols, TCCC principles, and extended/critical care.

The principles presented in this course are a synthesis of guidelines that integrate operational and medical requirements into a cohesive set of best practices specific to out-of-hospital care.

The main objectives of the course include:

  • Fulfill the refresher requirements
  • Enhance the application of Medical Operations Handbooks
  • Introduce new content while also revisiting existing practices
  • Provide valuable information that can be applied right away

This class was very good for experienced or advanced paramedic providers. Tim (and staff) were friendly and very knowledgeable. The facilities were spacious and accommodating for the class.
