National EMS Recertification Requirements

At DistanceCME™, our refresher and NCCP courses are live and interactive, and therefore meet all didactic requirements. All hours can be applied toward your National Registry re-certification. This is the ONLY place on the web where you can find a live course with true flexibility of scheduling to meet your busy schedule. DistanceCME also offers a Recorded content that can be taken at your own pace.

How it works: Sign up for the course. Check the calendar. Live courses are offered days, nights, weekdays, and weekends to accommodate all schedules and times zones. Live courses are taught in short, manageable blocks. Log on and take the courses one block at a time and in any order you choose. Once you finish the course hours, you are done. Print out your certificates, and submit it to National Registry or use the Import from CAPCE in your NREMT account.
