The handbook contains information on NREMT certification. It explains your responsibilities and the steps to earn certification. 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 an 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.  \nNREMT 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 NREMT certification and state licensure?  \nHaving NREMT 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 NREMT certification does not grant you the right to practice. You must obtain a state-issued license in order to legally practice as a paramedic.
