How does the online recertification course With Code One work?

CAN I COMPLETE MY CONTINUING EDUCATION ONLINE?

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LIMITS ON DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION?

IF I RENEW MY NREMT CERTIFICATION, DO I STILL NEED TO GET A STATE CERTIFICATION?
EMTs need a state certification to practice. The EMT can easily submit their updated NREMT certification through the state licensing portal to obtain updated state EMT certification which can be found here.
