EMT Recertification Online

Recertifying as an EMT doesn’t have to be a logistical nightmare. With DistanceCME’s flexible and fully virtual program, you can complete your EMT recertification online without rearranging your life, missing shifts, or stepping foot in a classroom. Whether you’re renewing your National Registry certification or fulfilling state requirements, we’ve got the tools, instructors, and support to help you get it done—on your schedule.

DistanceCME is America’s leading provider of Live NREMT Refreshers, Flight and Critical Care Review Courses, and EMS continuing education. We specialize in helping EMTs, AEMTs, paramedics, and critical care professionals across the country complete their continuing education in a way that’s convenient, engaging, and fully compliant with both NREMT and state standards.

Our EMT recertification online program is CAPCE-accredited and aligned with the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP). You’ll get access to F5 (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) and F3 (Distributive Education) options so you can tailor your learning experience to your schedule and preferences.

F5 sessions are live, instructor-led classes that replicate the interaction and structure of a traditional classroom—but they take place entirely online. You can join from home, your station, or even your car during standby hours, as long as you’ve got internet access. These courses run throughout the day, meaning no matter what shift you’re on, there’s a live class available when you’re ready.

Our instructors are seasoned EMS professionals who don’t just teach from a textbook—they teach from the field. Each course is packed with relevant insights, real-world scenarios, and up-to-date protocols to ensure that your learning isn’t just meeting requirements—it’s sharpening your ability to perform under pressure.

If live classes don’t fit your schedule 100% of the time, you can also take advantage of our F3 self-paced modules. These distributive learning courses allow you to work at your own pace, review topics as needed, and make progress whenever you have time—before a shift, after dinner, or during your days off. The content is still CAPCE-accredited and fully recognized by the NREMT and states.

Topics in the EMT recertification online program include airway management, trauma care, medical and pediatric emergencies, cardiology, EMS operations, and preparatory material. Our platform helps track your progress and keeps everything organized so you always know how many hours you’ve completed and how many you have left.

Need help? Our team is here for you. Whether you’re unsure how many hours you need, what your state accepts, or how to submit your completion to the NREMT, we’ll walk you through it. We’ve helped thousands of EMTs complete their CE with confidence, and we’re ready to help you do the same.

So if your recertification deadline is approaching and you’re wondering how you’ll find the time, the answer is simple: do it the smart way. Get it done with DistanceCME’s EMT recertification online—a flexible, accredited solution that puts you in control.
