Connecticut requires every EMS provider to maintain NREMT certification to renew their state license. The Connecticut path is simple: complete your NREMT recertification, then apply for state license renewal through the Connecticut eLicensing system. Hour requirements follow the NREMT National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) structure.

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.
