Q. Can I become a certified and licensed EMT in Indiana if I pass the EMT & Fire Training EMT B Course?
A. Yes. When our NREMT EMT Basic and Intermediate courses are completed, and the NREMT practical and cognitive exams are passed, a certificate will be issued from the NREMT for the level of the course. Once this certificate from the NREMT is received it allows the certified EMT to apply for licensure through reciprocity in the state of Indiana. The Reciprocity application is simple and easy to fill out.

Q. How do I recertify for EMS in the State of Indiana?
A. http://www.in.gov/dhs/3527.htm To recertify in the state of Indiana you must fill out the EMT-Basic Renewal Application and Continuing Education Report, and follow the guidelines found in these instructions for EMT Basics wanting to renew. http://www.in.gov/dhs/3527.htm A total of 40 Hours of CEUs must be completed.
We can help you get 24 of the 40 hours required with our online refresher that is 24 hours, and 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.
