Q. How do I recertify for EMS in the State of Illinois?
A. To recertify in the state of Illinois you must have a total of 120 hours of approved CEUs with a combination of adult and pediatric care. We can help you with 24 of those hours with our Online Refresher Course. Our 24-hour refresher includes 10 hours of self-directed learning, and 14 hours of Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) sessions where a real instructor is present to answer questions and discuss the topics. It is fully accepted by the NREMT and is CECBEMS accredited. This is only one of the few online refreshers that meet the actual requirements by the NREMT to be counted as an official refresher. You have 2 years to complete the refresher from the time you sign up (or you can usually get it done in as little as 2 to 3 weeks). The cost of the refresher is $249.

Q. Does the state of Illinois accept IFSAC Certification for reciprocity?
A. Reciprocity for certification as a firefighter is not automatically granted through reciprocity in the state of Illinois. When applying for licensure in Illinois after receiving training in another state, you must submit your course syllabus, training documentation; proof of course completion and a completed equivalency checklist along with a $100 certified check. At this time there will be a review of your training to see if it meets a minimum of 80% of the required Illinois objectives at the level you wish to be certified. If the review shows that your course was equivalent, you will be allowed to take the Illinois state Practical and Written exams. If the exams are passed, you will receive an Illinois state certification, and if not you will have to successfully pass the approved Illinois course before you will be allowed to re-test.
