NH Recertification Center
Please read the following section carefully: There are two different options for recertification: traditional RTP and Exam in Lieu (also called CBT). We’re prepared to help you recertify using either method. The differences between the two methods are shown below.
Warning! The failure to complete all recertification requirements prior to April 1 can have severe consequences.
Note: After completing recertification with the NREMT, you must still relicense with New Hampshire.
Paramedics: The following applies to EMT-Basics and EMT-Intermediates only.
Traditional Recertification:
This method requires 48 hours of CEUs, a standard 24 hour EMT-Basic RTP and a State of New Hampshire practical examination.
Intermediates: an additional 12 hours of ALS CEUs are required.
New Alternative Recertification Method - Exam in Lieu (also called CBT):
