EMT Transition Refresher Program

The EMT Integrated Refresher Program is 8 hours in length and is intended to update the currently practicing NJ EMT-B to the new knowledge and skills of the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) described in the 2009 National EMS Education Standards. It is intended for current EMT-Bs who have recently successfully completed a CORE 13 recertification course. NJ EMT-Bs may assign the 8 CEUs earned from this course to either the Core or Elective category, but not both. This course will present the new skills and knowledge that some providers may have been exposed to in practice and in continuing education, but were not part of the “old” EMT-B curriculum. Successful completion of this course permits the EMT-B to immediately operate under the revised EMT scope of practice; and to be able to recertify as an EMT. This course also meets the NREMT requirements for transition from EMT-B to EMT. This course is acceptable for recertification in place of the 24 hour courses, if you meet the above criteria.

A current Professional Rescuer CPR card is required.  There will be both skills and written evaluations each class, starting with the very first session.  Students are strongly advised to read a current initial or transition textbook prior to the first session.
