National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians

The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) is a nonprofit organization that certifies emergency medical personnel across the United States. It establishes standardized testing and requirements to ensure EMTs and paramedics are qualified to provide pre-hospital emergency care. Certification from the NREMT verifies that an emergency medical provider has met consistent national standards for knowledge and skills, helping to improve patient safety and care quality. Many states recognize or require NREMT certification for licensing, making it a key step in an emergency medical professional’s career.
