NCOEMS Recredentialing Process for Non-Affiliated EMTs Utilizing Landmark Learning as the Training Office  

  1. Complete the mandatory topic hours (80, see topic hour breakdown) within the 4-year credential period. MAINTAIN COPIES OF YOUR TRAINING CERTIFICATES.
    Complete a Refresher Training Program (RTP).
    Complete JEMS or CAPCE training units, or other on-line training resources to meet the required 80 hours in the required topics. Costs can vary.
    NOLS and EMT Instructors can count a certain number of teaching hours each year to at least partially meet these topic requirements. CAPCE hours shall be requested at course end on the student roster.
  2. Maintain your professional level CPR certification. This certification does not count toward any mandatory topic hours. It is considered an essential and independent piece of your EMT credential. An ASHI BLS course is available as an optional module during the RTP.
  3. Send to the Landmark Learning office, 1 MONTH BEFORE YOUR EXPIRATION, copies of all your continuing education certificates, a copy of your CPR card, and the NC EMT Worksheet provided to you at our RTP (we will not fill this form out for you we cannot turn your credential in unless this sheet is complete). Include your $40 processing fee when you submit it.
  4. Landmark Learning will manage approval of your recredential if the previous steps are followed. You can expect to receive your new certificate in the mail directly from NCOEMS.
  5. Immediately begin to obtain mandatory topic hours in your new credential period.
