Changes to Connecticut EMT Practical Exams

Updated Feb 26, 2020

On October 1, 2018, Connecticut OEMS announced that effective October 15, 2018:

• The KED station will be eliminated from the practical examination process. There will not be a 6th station to replace the KED station.
• The “Bleeding Control / Shock” skill station has been added as a possible assignment for Random. Only one Random skill (Long Bone, Joint, or Bleeding Control / Shock) will be tested per exam.
• The CPR AED Station has been updated to reflect the 2017 NREMT skill sheet.
• Candidates that have already tested and have failed 3 or more stations (excluding KED) will have to repeat the entire examination. Here is a registration link: https://code1web.com/practical-examination-initial-testing/
• Candidates that have failed 2 stations or have failed 2 stations plus KED will still be eligible to repeat their 2 failed stations only. Here is a registration link: https://code1web.com/practical-examination-repeat-testing
• Candidates that have failed 3 stations prior to October 15, 2018 during a 6-station exam will be eligible to repeat their 3 failed stations only. You must contact Code One to register: 860.786.1789 ext 110
• Candidates that have failed 1 station or 1 station plus KED may complete a Review and Retrain with their instructor without having to repeat stations during a state exam.
