Each certification card will indicate an expiration date. It is the responsibility of the “practicing” EMT to recertify before this two-year period has ended. In order to recertify, students must successfully complete a prescribed Refresher Course or obtain (24) twenty-four hours of approved continuing education (CE) for the EMT. In addition to completing a refresher course every two years or meeting the continuing education 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 lapse. During this twoyear 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 should be directed to: Page 22 of 39 UCLA CPC Revised 12/10/2012
