AEMT Certification Reinstatement
If your AEMT certification has lapsed any date after June 30, 2019, you cannot work as an EMS provider in Connecticut until all the reinstatement requirements have been met and a current CT AEMT Certification has been issued. Applicants must provide verification of 50 hours of continued education for an AEMT as required by NREMT by either submitting evidence of completion of continuing education or hold a current NREMT credential.
Note: Any person who held an AEMT certificate prior to June 30, 2019, who wishes to reinstate such certificate must demonstrate to this office that they have successfully obtained or held AEMT certification by the NREMT on or after that date. Those persons who held an AEMT certification prior to June 30, 2019, may not reinstate their certification with the 50-hour continuing education requirement alone, but are required to complete an initial AEMT OEMS approved course, successfully pass the NREMT cognitive examination.
Additional information regarding the requirement is described within the OEMS Communications Statement 17-05 and OEMS Communications Statement 18-06.
