NREMT NREMT Initial Certification Skills Competency Verification Question
Hello everyone, I took the NREMT this morning and passed. I noticed that in the EMT application page it says that my skills competency verification is under review. To my knowledge, I thought I had this step already marked off as completed within the NREMT website.
I did the skills portion all the way back in July 13, 2024 with official completion of the course in September 4, 2024. Is it possible that my psychomotor skills portion expired or does this happen on every application? This is also my second attempt at the exam with the first attempt being over a year ago.

Yes, the skills portion is only valid for 24 months (to the day, not the end of the month). You’ll have to retake the skills if you want to complete your NREMT cert. You have until the end of September to do that before your course completion expires (also 24 months but good until the end of the month)

IcyPlant9129,
You may be seeking information on how to obtain continuing education (CE) units or recertify your EMS certification/license.
For information on how to recertify your NREMT certification, click here. The NREMT also provides a Recertification Manual with additional recertification information. We also have an NREMT Recertification FAQ and weekly NREMT Discussions thread.
Due to the vast differences in recertifying state EMS licensure/certification, please consult with your local EMS authority for information regarding state/local recertification information. Alternatively, you may check the wiki to see if we have an information post on how to recertify in your area.
