CAPCE Accredited EMS Courses

When it comes to EMS continuing education, quality matters—and so does recognition. At DistanceCME, we’re proud to offer a full catalog of CAPCE accredited EMS courses that not only meet national and state-level standards but are also designed to fit your schedule, your career goals, and your life.

DistanceCME is America’s leading provider of Live NREMT Refreshers, Flight and Critical Care Review Courses, and EMS continuing education. Every course we offer is CAPCE-accredited, 100% online, and built to serve EMTs, AEMTs, paramedics, and critical care providers across the country. We’ve helped thousands of EMS professionals meet their recertification requirements with flexible training that doesn’t cut corners.

What does it mean when a course is CAPCE accredited? It means the content has been reviewed and approved by the Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education—the gold standard for EMS CE. CAPCE ensures that the course material is medically sound, up-to-date, and meets the continuing education requirements recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) and most state EMS offices. When you complete CAPCE accredited EMS courses with DistanceCME, your hours are widely accepted across the U.S., including for NREMT recertification and state license renewals.

We offer two types of CAPCE-accredited courses: F5 (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) and F3 (Distributive Education). F5 sessions are live, instructor-led classes that simulate the experience of a traditional classroom—but without the commute, scheduling headaches, or time away from your shift. These sessions are available throughout the day so you can attend a course before or after work—or even during downtime if you’re on standby at the station.

Our instructors are experienced EMS providers who know what it’s like to be in your shoes. They don’t just lecture—they share real-world insights, answer your questions live, and help make even the most technical content engaging and applicable to your everyday role. Whether you’re brushing up on trauma protocols, airway management, pediatrics, or cardiology, you’ll walk away with more than just CE hours—you’ll walk away sharper and more confident.

In addition to F5 sessions, we also offer F3 self-paced learning options. These modules are perfect for those who need even more flexibility or want to focus on specific topics. With no set class times, F3 courses allow you to learn when and where it works best for you—ideal for filling in gaps or tackling CE hours at your own pace.

Our platform makes it easy to track your progress, download certificates, and know exactly how close you are to meeting your recertification goals. And if you’re unsure which courses to take, our support team is here to help you every step of the way—from enrollment to documentation.

Whether you’re an EMT renewing your certification, a paramedic preparing for NREMT recert, or a flight medic meeting advanced education goals, DistanceCME’s CAPCE accredited EMS courses offer the reliable, respected, and convenient education you need.
