Louisiana EMS recertification requires you to maintain active NREMT certification. Unlike states with a separate state-only path, Louisiana EMS providers must satisfy NREMT recertification through the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP). This makes Louisiana straightforward: complete your NREMT requirements and your Louisiana EMS continuing education compliance is handled.
Louisiana NREMT Requirement
To maintain your Louisiana EMS license, you must keep your NREMT certification current. Hour requirements follow the NREMT National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) for your provider level.
Louisiana State Course Renewal Requirements
Beyond the NREMT requirement, Louisiana publishes specific state course renewal requirements that outline approved CE topics and additional state-level guidance for EMS providers. Reviewing these requirements alongside your NREMT recertification ensures your CE meets both national and Louisiana state expectations.
The Louisiana Department of Health Bureau of EMS publishes the official Louisiana Course Curriculum Requirements document outlining state-specific renewal expectations for Louisiana EMS providers.
