The National Registry First Responder Cognitive Examination offered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) grants successful test takers the title of First Responder.
In order to sit for the exam, candidates must first meet the NREMT eligibility requirements.
* A candidate must have completed a first responder course within the past two years that fulfills the obligations set by the U.S. Department of Transportation First Responder National Standard Curriculum.
* The Program Director must sign an affidavit verifying you have CPR credentials and have experience with the First Responder skill set.
* Candidates must have completed the psychomotor exam provided by the state-approved board.
To be able to take the exam, candidates must pay a $65 registration fee. Once the application has been accepted, the candidate will receive information on how to schedule the exam at computer-based testing centers found throughout the US.
The exam has 80 to 110 multiple choices questions. Candidates are allotted at most one hour and forty five minutes to complete the exam in its entirety. The exam covers First Responder topics, including Airway and Breathing, Cardiology, Trauma, Medical, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics. The exam requires applicants prove they understand all areas of EMT medical response, not just score well.
The exam certifies a person for a period of two years, at which time they must recertify. Recertification can be done without a test if the individual has been actively involved in a medical service using First Responder skills. But the candidate also has to meet education requirements, submit a recertification report, and have at least 12 hours of continuing education to be recertified.
