Wisconsin EMS recertification offers several ways to meet renewal requirements. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services publishes the official requirements, and all license renewals, training permits, certifications, and licensures are submitted through the Wisconsin EMS E-licensing Portal. For most providers, the simplest approach is to use a recertification bundle structured for your certification level.
Wisconsin EMS Hour Requirements by Certification Level
Wisconsin uses six certification levels with hour requirements scaled to each level’s scope of practice.
Recertification Bundles: The Simplest Approach
Wisconsin allows several methods to meet recertification requirements, but the most efficient approach for most providers is using a recertification bundle structured specifically for your certification level. Bundles eliminate the guesswork of piecing together individual courses to meet hour totals.
Our recertification bundles include the hours and topics required for Wisconsin EMS recertification at each provider level. Every course is CAPCE-accredited and accepted for both Wisconsin EMS recertification and NREMT recertification (if you also maintain National Registry).
Wisconsin EMS E-Licensing Portal
Wisconsin uses an E-licensing Portal for all individual EMS providers and agencies. The portal handles license renewals, training permit submissions, certifications, and licensures. You’ll log in to the portal to submit your completed CE and finalize your recertification.
Make sure your portal account information is current before submitting your renewal. Updates can take a few business days to process.
Official Wisconsin EMS Resources
The official Wisconsin DHS recertification page covers all renewal requirements, certification cycles, and submission procedures. This is the authoritative source for Wisconsin EMS providers.
NREMT and Wisconsin Recertification
Wisconsin does not require NREMT certification for state license renewal. You can recertify in Wisconsin using state CE requirements alone.
If you choose to maintain NREMT certification, you will follow the NREMT recertification requirements separately. NREMT operates on its own cycle and uses the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) structure. For complete details on NREMT recertification by level, visit the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians website.
Maintaining NREMT alongside your Wisconsin cert offers portability if you ever work in another state. Many Wisconsin EMS providers keep NREMT for this reason.
