What to do after the expiration of your certification
If the certification is not renewed within 90 days after the expiration date, the certification will expire and as a result the applicant can no longer practice as an EMS provider until the certification is reinstated.  Any person certified as an AEMT whose certification has expired may apply for reinstatement of such certification as follows:
  • If such certification expired less than two years from the expiration, such person shall complete 50 hours of continued education for an AEMT as required by NREMT; OR Be currently certified by the NREMT as an AEMT.
  • If such certification expired two or more years from the date of application for reinstatement, such person shall complete a full initial course with a minimum of 150 hours and the NREMT cognitive (written) and psychomotor (practical) examinations required for initial certification.
