📄 Renewing your California EMT Card

Written By Gabe schultz

Renewing your EMT card can be a pain, but staying ahead is much better than procrastinating and having to redo work, or worse, retake tests later on. 

Your California EMT certification must be renewed every two years. To prevent a lapse in your ability to work, aim to submit your renewal application at least a couple of months before your card expires. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • A valid CPR card: This also expires every two years. It’s recommended that you renew through the American Heart Association. Click here to find available courses near you.

  • 24 hours of Continuing Education (CE): You must complete and submit proof of at least 24 hours of Continuing Education (CE) with your renewal application. Many employers offer CE opportunities for free, so check with your current job first. If not, there are several affordable online EMT refresher programs available. One reliable option is CME Education.

  • Skills validation: Most employers provide this in-house. If yours doesn’t, you can usually find a local provider who offers it.
