NREMT Is Required for Connecticut Recertification

Connecticut requires every EMS provider to maintain NREMT certification at their provider level. There is no state-only recertification path. If your NREMT certification lapses, your Connecticut license cannot be renewed until your NREMT status is restored.

Because Connecticut follows the NREMT model, completing NREMT recertification through CAPCE-accredited courses also satisfies your state license renewal in one process.

Connecticut eLicensing and Renewal

Connecticut EMS providers apply for state license renewal through the Connecticut eLicensing system. This is the state’s online portal for managing your EMS license, submitting renewal applications, and tracking your certification status.

Keep all your CE records organized. When you apply for renewal through eLicensing, you’ll need documentation of your completed CE hours and your current NREMT status. CE Solutions automatically generates CAPCE-accredited certificates for every course you complete, which makes eLicensing submission straightforward.

If you have questions about your specific renewal status, the eLicensing process, or what documentation you need, reach out to your state EMS office or your agency’s training officer.
