Up until January 1 2020, Connecticut only used the NREMT process to provide initial testing and credentialing for EMTs, AEMTs, and paramedics. Providers were not required to keep it. As of January 2020 Connecticut has become an NREMT state for EMR, EMT, AEMT requiring these certified providers to follow the NREMT National Continued Competency Program to maintain certification and maintain Registry certification. Currently, paramedics are not required to follow the NCCP to maintain a license in Connecticut, nor are they required to maintain their Registry.
If you let your Registry expire prior to January 1, 2020 or if you never had it in the past, there is no need to go through the process to obtain it. You still MUST follow the NCCP education requirements to stay certified in Connecticut. Additionally, anyone who has received their certification after January 1, 2020 MUST maintain their National Registry.
