Recertification Simplification

Recertification Simplification

For recertification, the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) model requirements have not changed. Changes were made to how the education is assigned on the Manage Education page. Providers must still meet all education requirements to successfully complete their renewal. 


The National Registry’s focus is on the quality of the overall content instead of the time assignments of the unique subtopics. An EMS professional's requirements are met as long as all of the subtopics of each main category are represented and the hourly requirements of the major categories are achieved. For verification, we look at the title, the description and all attached documents for indications a subtopic was covered. The subtopics no longer have specific hour requirements the need to be met. 

You will no longer see the individual subtopics for the five major topics. You can view the subtopics by clicking the information icon next to the major topic name for a list of the required education. You no longer have to assign education to the individual subtopics, just to the major topic area.  You can use the articles below for further help.
