Initial NREMT Testing

EMT & EMR 5 Station Practical Exam for Connecticut and NREMT Certification

Initial Practical Exam for EMTs and EMRs

Candidates testing in a practical examination must have completed a Connecticut OEMS approved Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course within 2 years of their exam date, are reinstating an expired Connecticut or NREMT certification, or are completing the examination for endorsement as an EMR or EMT. Candidates are tested on five required skill stations: medical assessment, trauma assessment, random (joint immobilization, long bone immobilization, or bleeding control / shock), CPR/AED, and airway management.

Prerequisites

Testing Candidates must have completed a state-approved EMT certification course within the past 24 months or be in the process of recertification or reinstatement of a lapsed state or NREMT certification.

Stations Tested

The stations tested are as follows: 

  • Medical assessment
  • Trauma assessment
  • Airway
  • CPR/AED
  • Random (long bone immobilization, joint immobilization, or bleeding control)

Exam Results

OEMS sends exam results to the EMS instructor on file for each candidate. A candidate who is unsuccessful with one station may review and retest that station with their instructor. A candidate who is unsuccessful with 2 stations will retest those stations at a future exam. A candidate who is unsuccessful with 3 or more stations must repeat the entire exam.
