Traditional courses are no longer necessary. The Department of Health realizes there is no limit on the recertification process. In order to recertify, an expired EMT must submit a written request for recertification and the following information to the regional EMS:

  • Proof of previous certification
  • Proof of completion of the 24 continuing education hours (within the previous 36 months) and current CPR
  • Completed DOH/EMS Student Application
  • Completed criminal history form
