Q. Can I become a certified and licensed EMT in Wisconsin if I pass the EMT & Fire Training EMT B Course?
A. Yes. Wisconsin accepts license applications from EMT’s that hold a current NREMT certification. Once you have completed our online EMT-Basic or Intermediate I-85 course, and passed your National Registry Exams, you will receive a NR certificate that you can use to apply for licensure in the state of Wisconsin.

Included in the EMT-Basic and EMT-Intermediate course, that EMT & Fire Training has to offer, is full access to our test prep site to help you study for the NREMT exams at no extra cost. http://www.emt-national-training.com/
Q. Where is the state of Wisconsin in the transition from the National Standard Curriculum to the new National EMS Education Standards?
A. Q. Does Wisconsin require any extra EMT training that EFT does not provide in its course?
A. The state of Wisconsin requires a “Terrorism Awareness Course.” http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/ems/Training_education/WMDcourse.htm
Q. How do I recertify for EMS in the State of Wisconsin?
A. Recertification for EMT Basics in Wisconsin requires a 24-hour refresher based on the same topics that we offer in our EMT-Basic Refresher. It also requires that you complete successfully a 6-hour mini-seminar through a formal training center, not counting CPR. 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. http://www.emtfiretraining.com/emt-b-refresher.php

Q. Does the state of Wisconsin accept IFSAC Certification for reciprocity?
