Q. Can I become a certified and licensed EMT in West Virginia if I pass the EMT & Fire Training EMT B Course?
A. Yes. Once you have completed our course and passed both of your NREMT exams, you will be certified with the NREMT. This will allow you to take the West Virginia State exam if it is required for you to have a license.

Q. Does West Virginia require any extra EMT training that EFT does not provide in its course?
A. It appears that you must pass a state written exam, and be affiliated with an EMS Agency, Fire department or Rapid Response Agency, show proof of a current CPR card, and apply. Our course meets the requirements for the EMT-Basic, but you will have to take the NREMT practical and written test along with the West Virginia State practical exam.
Q. How do I recertify for EMS in the State of West Virginia?
A. To recertify as an EMT-Basic in the state of West Virginia, you need to complete a 24-hour refresher training that is CECBEMS approved and documented. We offer a 24-hour refresher that 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. http://www.emtfiretraining.com/emt-b-refresher.php
