Course Description
This course is specifically designed for CURRENT Paramedics that need continuing education hours or wish to renew their current* North Carolina Paramedic credential.

National Registry Disclaimer: This course includes and EXCEEDS the required National Continuing Competency Program (NCCP) 60 hours as outlined by the National Registry.
NREMT Waived Distributive Education guidelines: In September 2022 the National Registry’s Board of Directors announced 22-Resolution-06, which addresses the permanent removal of limits on Distributive Education. According to the NREMT Website this “applies to all requirements for continuing education, including recertification, state license and re-entry eligibility requirements, and refresher training after three failed examinations.”
Therefore, you may use 100% of this course for NREMT!
