The newly named NCCR may be implemented in any of the following formats:  \n􀁸 20 hours of in-class, instructor lead, or  \n􀁸 Blended learning: Part online (see below) and part in-class  \nThe educational standards are specific topics and skill based. The 20 hour bundled course will cover all requirements.  \nThe National Continued Competency Program: The ‘New’ Recertification  \nThe national component of the NCCP (the ‘new’ refresher) will constitute 50% of the new recertification requirements at each level and will replace the traditional DOT refresher. Topics will be updated every four years and will reflect current trends in evidence-based medicine, scope of practice changes and position papers from numerous associations involved with EMS research. It will also serve to focus on those patient presentations that have a low frequency but high criticality.  \nThe local component of the NCCP will constitute 25% of the new recertification requirements at each level. The requirement for these hours will be decided by local entities, including the state, region or agency. These topics can include, but are not limited to, state or local protocol changes, tasks that require remediation based on QA/QI and topics chosen from run reviews. The local component allows national recertification requirements to be adapted to the needs of the state and local agencies. Methods to provide current continuing education such as monthly training, conferences, and in-service training will stay the same.  \nFinally, the individual component of the NCCP will constitute the last 25% of the new recertification requirements at each level. Within this component, an individual is free to take any EMS-related education. As a result of the new NCCP recertification model, the total continuing education hours needed to recertify a national EMS certification have been reduced for EMTs, AEMTs and Paramedics (Table 1) . As this model is implemented throughout the country, more information regarding the transition to the new recertification model will be provided.  \nTable 1. NCCP Hour Requirements by Level (Every 2 Years)  \n\n|  | National (50%) | Local (25%) | Individual (25%) | Total Hours |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Paramedic | 30 | 15 | 15 | 60 |\n| AEMT | 25 | 12.5 | 12.5 | 50 |\n| EMT | 20 | 10 | 10 | 40 |\n| EMR | 8 | 4 | 4 | 16 |\n\nA total of 17 hours or one third of your education in a recertification period can be taken online unless the course is instructor led.  \nOur INTERACTIVE component requires you to complete the specific topic (s) during a period of time in which you may have direct communication with a faculty member in “Real-Time” if needed.  \nYou decide how many online credits you desire to use and/or what time frame to use the interactive option.  \nWe look forward to assisting you through the recertification process and making the transition as easy as possible.  \nAR 2-212  \nADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENT MANUAL EFFECTIVE DATE: November 3, 2015 AUTHORIZATION: M.
