Active EMS Refresher Courses  

 GeorgiaEMSAcademy.com is proud to announce  a new service offered to just to GeorgiaEMSAcademy.com students.  An EMS refresher course differs from continuing education in that it follows a curriculum established by the State of Georgia Office of EMS and the U.S. Department of Transportation.   EMS refresher courses can only partially be taught online to be acceptable to National Registry; therefore we must actually teach the majority of the course in person.  The good news is that our refresher course will exceed the standards set forth by the Georgia State Office of EMS and is approved for all levels of licensure.  National Registry accepts State approved Refresher Courses.  Since our Refresher Course is approved in Georgia, it is possible for EMS personnel to come to one of our courses from out of state.  You might ask yourself, who would need an EMS refresher course? 

• Nationally Registered EMT's and Paramedics who wish to maintain their National Registry certification by meeting the 1A requirement (EMS Refresher Course).
• Previously licensed EMT's and Paramedics who wish to obtain their license after a lapse (less than 4 years, click this link to see the policy).
• EMS students who have failed a National Registry test 3 times and wish to take another test.
• Non-Nationally Registered out of state EMT's and Paramedics who seek reciprocity in Georgia.

So how will all this work?  A special page on your portal has been developed that specifies which courses you need to take in order to complete the online component of the course (paid members of the site only).  On that page is a link to another page that will allow you to sign up for an established course.  If there is no established course on the page that is in an area of the state you are near, then you can add your name to a waiting list of proposed courses in your area on the dates previously requested.   If there are no proposed dates in a region near you, then you can request a course be taught in your region within a specified period of time.  On our end, we will monitor the requests for courses, and when there is an adequate number of people requesting a course in a region on a specific date range, we will set up the course and come to your region.  After you request to attend a course, you must reserve your seat by paying for the course (either online or by check).  Once you have paid for the class, your seat is reserved and we will see you at the course.

So what will the course be like?  The course is approved for all levels of training and the in person component depends upon your level of licensure.  The courses will be held at various locations around the state.   To minimize the amount of turbulence we are sure this course will have on your life, we will meet for 12 hours a day with some follow up testing to be completed online.   You must be present for the entire course to obtain credit. 

• EMT-Basics must attend the first day of the course only but are welcome to attend all three days.
• EMT-Intermediates will attend the first and second day of the course but are welcome to attend all three days.
• Paramedics will attend all three days of the course but are welcome to attend all three days. 

How much will this cost?  The course costs $200 regardless of how many days you attend  plus you have to be a paid member of the course ($75).  After you have successfully completed all the requirements of the course, we will send you a certificate by mail which can be used as proof of completion for National Registry.
