Take the National Registry Paramedic Exam.
The National Registry of Emergency Technicians offers a national certification exam to EMT professionals. This exam tests an EMT's ability to treat patients outside of a hospital setting. Completing this exam will make you more attractive to potential employers and may increase your earning potential. However, before taking the exam, you'll need to set up an account with NREMT and apply to take the test.
Instructions
1. Create an account with the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians at their website. After logging into your account, complete the personal account information fields. Make sure your name on the application is the same as your driver's license (which will be required when checking in for the exam).
2. Create a new application. After filling out your profile information, click on "Create a New Application." Review the personal information to make sure it's accurate and make any necessary corrections or changes.
3. Pay the application fee. There are two options for paying your application fee. You can pay when completing the application with a debit or credit card or choose to pay at a later date. If you decide to pay at a later date, login to your account and click on "Check Application Status." Then, select "application payment" when you're ready to pay. However, an Authorization to Test letter won't be sent until payment is made, so make sure to make payment as soon as possible.
4. Monitor your application status. Your application status can be monitored on the NREMT website by logging onto your account and clicking on "check application status." Once the application is approved, you can print your authorization letter, which will allow you to schedule a testing date and time.
5. Contact Pearson to schedule your exam. After receiving application approval, contact Pearson at the number on your letter to schedule your testing date and time. Rescheduling a test is permitted up to 24 hours in advance by contacting Pearson.
