Skills Competency Testing can be completed through your approved Refresher Training Program
Though the National Registry does not require formal skills testing for recertification, they do require that competency in the required basic skills be verified. Verification of skill competency can be found on the back of the Re-registration form. This section must be signed off by either the Training Officer, Program Director, Medical Director, or Director of Operations.

Waiting till the last minute
Before you decide to wait until the last minute, remember two things:
1. The National Registry can take at least 4 weeks or longer, to get your certification card back to you. This is from the time they receive your re-registration application.
2. You may start the new recertification process immediately after your initial certification, or last recertification class. Applications along with proof of refresher training may be sent in up to six month prior to your certification expiration date.
IF YOU ARE CERTIFIED BY A STATE THAT DOES NOT UTILIZE THE NATIONAL REGISTRY FOR IT'S CERTIFICATION PROCESS, OR ANY COUNTY WITHIN THAT STATE, YOU SHOULD ONLY NEED 24 HOURS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION. ALL 24 HOURS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION CAN BE TAKEN ONLINE. CPR AND SKILLS TESTING ARE STILL REQUIRED IN ADDITION TO THE C.E. BOTH SKILLS TESTING AND CPR ARE DONE BY VIRTUALLY EVERY E.M.T. SCHOOL.
