We are experts in North Carolina EMS credentialing. Whether you are looking to renew your credential, pick up a few CE hours, or reclaim an expired credential, we know what to do!

We Partner with North Carolina Community Colleges! We are intimately familiar with the NCCCS, the duties of EMS Coordinators and the fee waivers afforded to certain individuals in NC. We bring more than 20 years of experience and knowledge to help make our students’ lives easier.

North Carolina is one of the few states that offer FREE Continuing Education to public safety members. Since we can’t compete with FREE, we partner with it!

Believe it or not, we want to provide our learners with what is best for them, NOT what’s best for us. We work with individuals to determine what his/her needs are and where those needs can best be met. Our first recommendation is to take advantage of the fee waivers by taking our courses through one of our community college clients.
