CCJA Accelerated MEDIC (EMT-E) Training
Team,
CCJA will be offering an EMT E course for Virginia and National Registry. As most of you are aware the National Registry will be changing the certification levels to the following:
NREMT-B (Basic)
NREMT-A (Advanced)
NREMT-P (Paramedic)
So this means the NREMT-I will no longer be available after 2011/2012. A NREMT-I will have to bridge up to NREMT-P or down to NREMT-A. However all EMT-E's will become NREMT-A's without a bridging program.
