WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS WEBSITE
The single most important goal of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians
(NREMT) is to offer assurance that EMS personnel providing treatment to patients—at
their highest moment of need—are competent.
The NREMT accomplishes this goal with a staff that includes highly qualified EMS
experts who understand what is involved in treating patients in the out-of-hospital
setting. They are responsible for implementing a process that involves meeting specific
requirements. This is necessary due to the sensitive nature of the EMS profession
and the level of trust placed on EMS personnel.
The NREMT was founded in 1970 as a result of the recommendations made by the Committee
on Highway Traffic Safety. This committee proposed a national certification agency
to establish uniform standards for training and examination of personnel active
in the delivery of emergency ambulance service.

NCCA Accreditation
With a commitment to excellence, the NREMT holds accreditation from The National
Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), which is the accreditation arm of The
National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). The NCCA is recognized as
the authority on accreditation standards for professional certification organizations
and programs. NCCA accreditation means that the standards set by the NREMT have
been reviewed by the NCCA and deemed credible for ensuring the health, welfare and
safety of the public.
