EMT Refresher Course
The EMT-Refresher course fulfills the mandatory 24 hour refresher component of the National Registry EMT Registration and meets the requirements for EMTs set forth by the state of California. Instruction will be provided in both lecture and workshop format. Students enrolled in this class will receive updated training on all necessary emergency medical care skills. Students will need online access prior to participating in this course. WestMed College will provide access to campus computers for students enrolled in this course. Every two years, EMTs must provide the certifying authority with proof of 24 hours of an approved refresher course or 24 hours of EMS approved continuing education units (CEUs), and be signed off as competent in ten skills every two years. Proof of completion of these requirements allows the certifying authority to recertify an EMT. WestMed College offers short 4 hour courses to provide specific hours of continuing education required for each area of EMT recertification; this flexible schedule allows convenience in meeting the necessary 24 hours of continuing education, as well the opportunity to complete the skills verification form for the California EMT state recertification.
