Requirements for Licensure:
In order to be certified as an EMT, you will be required by your local EMS Agency to undergo a background investigation, successfully complete a certified EMT training course, and take the National Registry of EMTs NREMT-B computer adaptive test, along with meeting the other application stipulations as set forth for California. Successfully completing the CPR and More Training Program’s EMT Course qualifies you to take the National Registry certifying exam for EMTs. If you pass the exam, you are then eligible for state and national certification.
The San Bernardino County EMT certification requirements: Locally, the certifying process for EMTs in the State of California is completed through the Inland County Emergency Medical Services Agency. Fee information and applications for certification in San Bernardino County will be distributed in class and are available for download online at www.iceme.com.
Certification and Recertification:
Certification as an EMT is valid for two years throughout the State of California. Each certification card will indicate an expiration date. It is the responsibility of the “practicing” EMT recertify before this two-year period has ended. In order to recertify, students must successfully complete a prescribed refresher course or obtain 24 hours of approved continuing education units (CEUs) for the EMT. In addition to completing a refresher course every two years or meeting the CEU requirements, EMTs must take the standardized State of California skills exam every two years.
Should the EMT fail to recertify before the expiration date, a two-year grace period is extended for recertification, with additional requirements based upon the length of the elapsed time. During this two-year period, an EMT may NOT work as an EMT until the recertification process is completed. Should the two years lapse without successful recertification, the EMT must take the entire primary training program again.
Any questions regarding certification and background checks in San Bernardino County should be directed to ICEMA.
Background Checks:
While it is not required for completing the EMT course or passing the NREMT-B exam, the local certifying agency for EMTs and most employers hiring EMTs will require a background investigation to determine if an applicant has a criminal history. In addition to background checks, employers generally seek applicants that successfully complete a DOT physical to be an ambulance driver, have a clean drug test before being hired, and a good driving record.
In California, the background investigation often consists of an electronic fingerprint database search (Live Scan). Conviction of a crime does not automatically mean that a student is ineligible for certification. Typically, any felony conviction within the last seven years or any conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) may potentially disqualify an applicant from certification and/or employment. Failure to disclose the required information may result in refusal of certification due to falsification. Questions related to this process should be directed to ICEMA.
Emergency Medical Technician Examinations:
There is currently one exam available for certification: The National Registry Exam which can be located at www.nremt.org/nremt/about/reg_basic_history.asp. The cost of the test is $70.00 and will be paid by the student. For any questions that cannot be answered by viewing their website, they can be reached at (614) 888-4484.
Attendance Policy:
All students must meet the minimum number of hours based on state protocols. If any student fails to meet the minimum, they will be put into the next class at no cost to them. A refund will not be issued. Due to the speed at which the class progresses and the tests that must be passed, it is advised that students not miss days. One missed test can be made up. Any other missed tests and the student takes a zero for those tests. A student may not miss the final exam.
It is important for the student to arrive to class on time and ready for instruction. Tardiness is disruptive to the other students as well as the instructor and will not be tolerated. Arriving to class later than ten minutes is considered tardy. The first offense will be a verbal warning. The second offense will result in a writing warning with/without suspension. The third offense will result in an automatic suspension. A fourth offense will lead to a possible termination of their program. In addition, students will be expected to come to class as scheduled unless there is a valid excuse (death in family, sickness, family emergency). Any disciplinary action will be at the discretion of the school.
Probation, Drop Out, Re-admittance, Leave of Absence and/or Suspension:

Excessive tardiness is defined as missing more than five hours due to tardiness or leaving early from class without prior arrangements to make up the time.
- Unacceptable behavior which endangers others (students, patients, clinical staff, school instructors) will result in the student being dropped if not corrected (based on severity, a first offense may result in removal or being dropped from the program).

The program is four weeks long. The student will be given a series of tests (excluding the final test). An 80% score is considered passing for each test. Each test will be reviewed after scoring the results with the class and feedback will be given regarding wrongly answered questions. Students are advised to study at least two to six hours per subject, and they are expected to maintain an 80% average. Any student who does not achieve an 80% will be referred to the program director for academic review. At that time, an attempt to ascertain the cause of the poor scores will ensue. Afterwards, a plan will be drawn up with the director and the student in ways to improve their scores. If the student continues to fall below an 80% average without showing any noticeable improvement, they could be subject to suspension and/or dismissal from the program, at the director’s discretion.
The final test will have 200 questions and in order for the student to pass, you must answer 160 questions (80%) correctly. If the student fails the final exam, they must wait at least two days before they may retake the final exam.
