It also explains how exams work and what the certification policies are. Please read the entire handbook.  \nThis handbook is for candidates who are completing or have recently completed a Paramedic educational program.  \nYou may have concerns that are not addressed in this handbook. For those questions, we are pleased to serve you through our website, call center and email.  \nNATIONAL REGISTRY CERTIFICATION  \nWe use exams to make sure candidates have the knowledge and skills needed to be a Paramedic. The exams are the same across the country to make sure that everyone meets the same standards. As a result, the Paramedic 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 National Registry certification means you have met a set of standards and that you have the knowledge and skills required for a Paramedic position. A license is the legal right to practice as an EMS professional within a set scope of practice and is granted by a state or other legally recognized authority.  \nSuccessfully obtaining National Registry certification does not grant you the right ","cbCainpHWaIC2hpo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainpHWaIC2hpo","pdf",363551,"English","# Handbook Purpose\n# National Registry Certification\n# About the National Registry\n# Certification Process Overview\n## Begin an Education Program\n## Account Creation\n## Registration\n## Application Review\n## Deadlines\n## Application Fees\n## How to Check Application and Exam Results\n# Cognitive Exam\n## Exam Format\n## Authorization to Test (ATT)\n## Scheduling\n## Taking the Exam\n## Exam Results\n## Retesting\n## Exam Review\n# Psychomotor Exam\n## Exam Format\n## Psychomotor Authorization to Test (PATT)\n## Scheduling\n## Taking the Exam\n## Exam Results\n## Retesting\n# Certification Policies\n## Accommodations\n## Appeals\n## Candidate Retesting at Request of the Registry\n## Complaints\n## Criminal Convictions\n## Denial or Revocation of Certification\n## Impartiality\n## Non-Dicrimination and Fairness\n## Privacy","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the NREMT Paramedic Candidate Handbook?\",\"answer\":\"It prepares candidates to understand what they must do to earn National Registry certification, including responsibilities, exam procedures, and certification policies, and instructs candidates to read the entire handbook.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the difference between National Registry certification and state licensure?\",\"answer\":\"National Registry certification indicates candidates met eligibility standards and have the required knowledge and skills, while licensure is the legal authority granted by a state to practice within a scope of practice.\"},{\"question\":\"How do cognitive and psychomotor exams differ in the certification process?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook separately explains each exam’s format, authorization to test (ATT for cognitive and PATT for psychomotor), scheduling, taking the exam, results, and retesting, along with guidance for reviewing exam outcomes.\"}]","NREMT Paramedic Candidate Handbook - Handbook Issue 1 | PDF",1790199156,76]
