NCCP: A NEW WAY TO RECERTIFY In 2012, the NREMT introduced a new recertification model, the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP).

Looking for the history, use of, and goals the NREMT has in using the NCCP. In 2012, the National Registry introduced a new recertification model, the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP).
The National Continued Competency Program encourages Nationally Certified EMS personnel to pursue life-long education while also providing state and local agencies the freedom to customize continuing education to meet local operational needs.
The National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) was constructed using methodology similar to that of the American Board of Medical Specialties requirements and streamlines the recertification process into three strategic categories of continuing education: National, Local, and Individual.
A refresher course is required if you did not meet all recertification requirements by your NREMT expiration date and your certification is considered to be lapsed.
Please refer to your state’s particular requirements. A maximum number of 10 hours can be applied from Distributive Education towards this section and must be state or CAPCE approved.
The NREMT program is all inclusive and will give you all the courses required by the NREMT as a refresher or remedial course.
