Do I need any in-person skills training?
Our course covers the required CEUs for renewing California EMT certification since we are CAPCE accredited.
Note that some counties in California require a skills competency verification in addition to the continuing education hours. You can go to a local EMS program in your area to gain your skills competency verification – we are unable to provide this as part of the CEUs we offer.
What if my California EMT certification has lapsed?
Regardless of the amount of time you have lapsed, all EMTs are required to complete an EMT Skills form and (most likely) a new background check in addition to the requirements below.
Lapsed <6 months: Our 24 hour course is still all that you need to complete the continuing education requirement.
Lapsed 6 months to <12 months: You will need a total of 36 hours of continuing education. We have a 36 hour course available that you may choose when registering.
Lapsed >12 months: You will need a total of 48 hours of continuing education plus:
A 12+ month lapsed California EMT may take our 36-hour course, but will need to obtain an additional 12 hours of continuing education from another source. For more information about lapsed recertification, visit the California EMSA website.

What happens if I fail a quiz?
No worries. You have multiple attempts to pass each quiz. When you submit a quiz, you’ll see the correct answer along with an explanation. Our method isn’t to test you for the sake of evaluating, it’s also to introduce another learning opportunity.
