Everyone will begin their recert process at NREMT
Massachusetts only accepts MA-approval numbers and CAPCE approval numbers as proof of valid continuing education.
You may complete your training via in-person, distributive or virtual instructor-led methods.
There are NO LIMITS on the type of education you choose.
In other words, now and going forward, you may complete all of your education on-line at your own pace if you so choose. OR, you may complete your education via all in-person classes. OR, you may complete your education via virtual instructor-led classes. OR, you may mix and match these methods at your convenience.
There are no longer any formulas to determine acceptable training.
Just be sure your classes all have either a MA approval number OR a CAPCE number!
