FOREWARD
To qualify and get your EMS national certification, you must pass both the cognitive
exam AND the psychomotor exam. The psychomotor exam is administered by your
State EMS Office and follows the National Registry Psychomotor testing guidelines,
Before signing up for the exam, review the following skills testing forms as preparation
for the skills exam.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARATION OF THE SKILLS NECESSARY

FOR ADEQUATE PATIENT CARE, WHICH INCLUDES THE MINIMUM
REQUIRED SKILLS IDENTIFIED IN TITLE 22 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE
OF REGULATIONS.
A $50 RESCEDULE FEE WILL BE APPLIED IF YOU FAIL 2 SKILLS AND

WILL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TESTING DATE
Below are PDF documents from the National Registry website, giving a comprehensive
checklist of each skill presented. Please note that “the following performance checklists
are a guide for the verification of required skills.
website: https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/document/psychomotor-exam)
This workbook is made available to you well in advance of testing to allow for adequate
review and practice.
SCORING
The purpose of a scoring checklist is to ensure that:
1. All candidates are tested to the same standard

2. Important steps in each skill are completed
3. Minimum competencies and critical failure criteria for each skill are established
Scoring is accomplished by an evaluator approved by the local EMSA and will observe
the candidate’s performance. The evaluator will follow the checklist and will grade the
candidate’s performance as follows:
1. Each Station has 2 criteria for evaluation. Candidates must successfully meet
both criteria in order to successfully complete a station. The criteria are as
follows:
a. Points are established for completing certain tasks. Upon completion of a

task, the candidate will be awarded the corresponding points.. In order to
successfully complete the station, the candidate must receive a minimum
of 70% of the possible points for a given station.
b. Critical performances in a station are denoted by an asterisk (*) or listed as

Critical Criteria at the bottom of the evaluation form. A candidate who
fails to complete a critical performance step will fail the station
Section 1:
EMT Testing Policies and Procedures
THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS
Individuals applying for the Emergency Medical Technician national certification must meet the
following requirements:
1. Successful completion of a state-approved Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course that

meets or exceeds the National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards for the
Emergency Medical Technician.
o Candidates must have completed the course within the past two years and the course
Program Director must verify successful course completion on the National Registry
website.
2. Have a current CPR-BLS for "Healthcare Provider" or equivalent credential.
3. Successful completion of the National Registry cognitive (knowledge) and a state approved
psychomotor (skills) exams.
o Passed portions of the cognitive and psychomotor exam remain valid for 24 months.
For candidates with a course completion date prior to November 1, 2018, passed
portions of each examination are valid for 12 months. Provided all other entry
requirements are met.
Notes
o If the initial Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) educational program was

completed more than two years ago, and the candidate is currently state licensed at the EMT
level, the candidate must document successful completion of a state-approved EMT refresher
course or 24 hours of equivalent continuing education topic hours within the past two years.
o If the candidate is not currently state licensed as an EMT and it has been more than two
years from the completion of an approved EMT course, the candidate must complete a new
state-approved EMT course prior to applying for National Certification.
Application Process
o Create an account/login profile on this website.

o Submit a National Registry application and answer all questions truthfully.
o The National Registry may deny certification or take other appropriate actions in regards to
applicants for certification or recertification when a criminal conviction has occurred.
o Pay the application fee of $80 (US funds). The application fee is non-transferable and non-
refundable. This fee is charged for each attempt of the cognitive examination.
o Candidates will receive an electronic Authorization to Test (ATT) once you are eligible for
the exam. The electronic ATT contains scheduling instructions and important details
concerning proper identification required at testing centers. You can find the ATT in the
'Check Application Status' page.
Responsibilities of Nationally Certified EMS Personnel

Certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) must notify the National Registry within 30 days
regarding the following matters:
o change in mailing address (the best way to update a mailing address is by editing the user
profile page)
o any criminal conviction.
o disciplinary action taken by any state has resulted in suspension, revocation, or expiration of
state registration/licensure; termination of right to practice; voluntary surrender of state
registration/licensure while under investigation.
The National Registry considers the individual to be solely responsible for their certification.
THE COGNITIVE EXAM

The National Registry Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) cognitive exam is a computer adaptive
test (CAT). The number of items a candidate can expect on the EMT exam will range from 70 to 120.
Each exam will have between 60 to 110 ‘live’ items that count toward the final score. The exam will
also have 10 pilot questions that do not affect the final score. The maximum amount of time given to
complete the exam is 2 hours.
The exam will cover the entire spectrum of EMS care including: Airway, Respiration & Ventilation;
Cardiology & Resuscitation; Trauma; Medical; Obstetrics/Gynecology; EMS Operations. Items
related to patient care are focused on adult and geriatric patients (85%) and pediatric patients (15%).
In order to pass the exam, candidates must meet a standard level of competency. The passing standard
is defined by the ability to provide safe and effective entry level emergency medical care.
We strongly encourage candidates to review the following information:
o Cognitive Exam Policies

o Cognitive Exam Information
EMT Cognitive Exam Test Plan

Based on the most recent practice analysis, the National Registry Board approves a cognitive exam
test plan. A test plan is a blue-print that tells the computer testing software how to build a candidate's
exam. The table below indicates what percent of the test will focus on each topic area.
Content Area Percent of Exam Adult / Pediatric Mix
Airway, Respiration & Ventilation 18%-22% 85% Adult; 15% Pediatric
Cardiology & Resuscitation 20%-24% 85% Adult; 15% Pediatric
Trauma 14%-18% 85% Adult; 15% Pediatric
Medical; Obstetrics & Gynecology 27%-31% 85% Adult; 15% Pediatric
EMS Operations 10%-14% N/A
Cognitive Exam Retest Information
If a candidate is not successful in passing the cognitive exam, the National Registry will provide a
candidate feedback on their performance. Candidates may apply to retest 15 days after the last
examination.
Candidates are given a total of six opportunities to pass the EMT cognitive examination, provided all
other requirements for National EMS Certification are met. After three attempts, candidates must
submit official documentation verifying completion of remedial training. Remedial training must be
completed by a state approved instructor or an approved CAPCE course. After remedial training is
complete, the candidate is given three additional attempts to pass the EMT cognitive exam, provided
all other requirements for National Certification are met. Candidates who fail to pass after a total of
six attempts are required to repeat the entire EMT course.
Remedial Training Requirements

The EMT remedial training requirement can be satisfied through three different options:
1. Traditional Refresher Course: Completion of a State or CAPCE(F1, F2, F5) approved 24

hour EMT refresher course.
2. NCCR 20 hours of continuing education: Completion of the 20 hour National Competency
Component from the NCCP model.
3. Continuing education topic hours: EMT remedial may be completed by continuing
education* and must include the topics and hours listed here under Traditional Model.
Note: Some states require the traditional refresher course and will not accept continuing education
hours. Please refer to your state's particular requirements. A maximum number of 10 hours can be
applied from Distributive Education towards this section and must be state or CAPCE approved.
THE PSYCHOMOTOR EXAM

Throughout your Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) educational program you must demonstrate
competence in a wide range of emergency care skills. Your instructor must attest that you have
demonstrated competence in the following skills during your course: patient assessment/management
of a trauma patient, patient assessment/management of a medical patient, cardiac arrest
management/AED, BVM ventilation of an apneic patient, long bone fracture immobilization, joint
dislocation immobilization, traction splinting, bleeding control/shock management, upper airway
adjuncts and suction, mouth-to-mouth ventilation with supplemental oxygen, and supplemental
oxygen administration to a breathing patient.
You must also successfully complete a state-approved Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
psychomotor examination. Speak with your instructor or State EMS Office about the format and
logistics of completing a state-approved Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) psychomotor exam.
Emergency Medical Technician psychomotor examinations are not administered by the National
Registry. All EMT psychomotor exams are administered by either the State EMS Office or at the
training institution (with approval and oversight provided by the State EMS Office). EMT course
instructors should provide candidates information regarding this examination.
The following performance checklists are a guide for the verification of required skills. The State
EMS Office or training institution may use different forms.
o Patient Assessment / Management - Trauma

o Patient Assessment / Management - Medical
o BVM Ventilation of an Apneic Adult Patient
o Oxygen Administration by Non-Rebreather Mask

Device is used in reserve the affects of opioid overdose.
2 Opioid overdose is potentially lethal condition that results in
accidental/intentional excessive use of narcotics with decreased level of
consciousness, pinpoint pupils, slow heart rate, slow breathing that can
sometimes stop, may have blue lips and nails from insufficient oxygen in the
blood, may have seizure, and may have muscle spasms. A person
experiencing an opiate overdose usually will not wake up even if their name
is called or if shaken.
3 Intranasal (IN) Naloxone 2mg delivered by an intranasal Mucosal Device
should only be used in adults and children (5 years or older 20kg/40lbs) in
opioid.
