      How do I register for EMT Skills Week?

      Important: Students may register for EMT Skills Week after completing all required online EMT course modules, maintaining a minimum 80% overall course average, and passing both the Midterm Exam and Final Exam.

      Skills Week is the required hands-on portion of the Initial EMT Hybrid Course and includes EMT skills practice, patient assessment, scenario-based training, and final practical evaluations.

      What is the NREMT, and why do I need it?

      The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, commonly called the NREMT or National Registry, is the national EMS certification organization used by many states as part of the EMT certification and licensure process.

      After completing the Initial EMT Hybrid Course, eligible students may apply for the National Registry EMT cognitive exam. Passing the NREMT exam is often one of the required steps toward becoming certified or licensed as an EMT.

      Important: State EMS offices make the final decision on EMT licensure or certification requirements. Students should always check with the state where they plan to work to confirm local EMT requirements.

      How can I check if my state allows reciprocity after completing the EMT course in Nevada or South Carolina?

      Students who plan to seek EMT certification or licensure outside of Nevada or South Carolina should contact their state EMS office before enrolling or before completing the certification process.

      Each state sets its own EMS licensure, certification, and reciprocity requirements. Many states recognize National Registry certification, but reciprocity rules, application steps, fees, background checks, and additional requirements vary by state.

      To check your state’s requirements:

      1. Visit your state EMS office website.
      2. Search for EMT certification, licensure, or reciprocity requirements.
      3. Confirm whether your state accepts EMT education completed in Nevada or South Carolina.
      4. Ask whether National Registry EMT certification is required.
      5. Confirm any additional state-specific testing, application, background check, or documentation requirements.

      Important: Students are responsible for verifying the requirements in the state where they plan to become licensed or certified as an EMT.

      Is there an app I can use with the Initial EMT Hybrid Course?

      Yes. Students enrolled in the Initial EMT Hybrid Course can access their online EMT training modules through the Moodle Workplace app.

      After enrollment, students will receive instructions on how to download the app, log in, and access their EMT online course materials from a phone or tablet.

      Important: The app provides convenient mobile access to course content; however, some activities, quizzes, exams, or required submissions may work best on a desktop or laptop computer.
