The exams are the same across the country to make sure that everyone meets the same standards. As a result, the EMT certification lets the public, healthcare providers, employers, and others know that you have the knowledge and skills to work safely and effectively.  \nFAQ: What is the difference between National Registry certification and state licensure?  \nHaving the Registry certification means you have met a set of standards and that you have the knowledge and skills required for an EMT position.
