All EMS providers are responsible for verifying their specific certification, recertification, and continuing education requirements directly with their state EMS regulatory authority before relying on any information published here.

Arizona EMS recertification is one of the more straightforward state processes.

Hour requirements align with the NREMT National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) structure, making it simple to complete both your NREMT and Arizona recertification in one process.
