Local and Individual Hours

Local and Individual Hours

The Local or State component of your recertification is where you can assign any state or local agency required education. If your state or local agency does not have any specific requirements, you can enter any accepted patient care and EMS-related education.. If you do not hold a state license you still need to complete the local hours. 

The Individual component of your recertification is open for any accepted patient care and EMS-related education. Depending on your current National Registry level, you will just need to meet the hour requirements.
