Online State EMS CEs

Trying to keep up with state-specific EMS continuing education requirements can feel like navigating a maze—especially when every state has its own rules, deadlines, and hour minimums. That’s why DistanceCME offers online state EMS CEs that are designed to be simple, flexible, and fully compliant, no matter where you live or practice.

DistanceCME is America’s leading provider of Live NREMT Refreshers, Flight and Critical Care Review Courses, and EMS continuing education. All of our courses are CAPCE-accredited and 100% online, giving EMTs, AEMTs, paramedics, and critical care providers access to high-quality CE training that meets both national and state-level standards.

Whether you’re renewing your license in Texas, North Carolina, California, New York, Florida, or anywhere else in the U.S., our online state EMS CEs can help you satisfy your renewal requirements without the hassle of in-person classes or rigid schedules.

We offer two formats for our CE programs: F5 (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) and F3 (Distributive Education). F5 sessions are live, online classes taught by experienced EMS instructors who are also active providers in the field. These interactive sessions count toward the National Registry’s National Component and are accepted by state EMS offices. Because they happen live and are scheduled throughout the day, you can attend whenever it’s most convenient for you—whether that’s before your shift, or after a long day.

These modules allow you to complete your CE hours at your own speed, whenever and wherever it works for you. They’re perfect for completing state-specific requirements or filling in additional CE hours without being tied to a class schedule.

DistanceCME’s online state EMS CEs cover a wide range of topics that apply to both national and state-level requirements. These include trauma, airway management, cardiology, OB/Peds, medical emergencies, behavioral health, pharmacology, and EMS operations. We also include content on emerging best practices and issues like opioid response, disaster preparedness, and mental wellness for first responders.

Every course is developed and taught by experienced EMS educators, ensuring that the content is accurate, practical, and relevant to your work in the field. This isn’t outdated textbook content—we bring real-world scenarios and applicable knowledge to the table so that your CE hours are valuable and meaningful.

We also make it easy to keep track of your progress. Our online dashboard shows you exactly how many hours you’ve completed, what’s left, and which courses count toward specific certification requirements. You’ll also receive completion certificates you can submit to your state EMS office or upload directly to the NREMT site.
