I did that last year for NR as it too was a matter of ease as I was in a city where there was a testing station and I also wanted to see how the CBT process went (smoothly I need to add) but then I thought I saw something about that option going away?

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 My NR renewal is next spring, and I have to put together the renewal CE credits. The total number of hours isn't a problem, but getting the 24 hours of " refresher " credits in a " classroom " environment may well be. Does anyone know of any classroom-type courses that can be used for the NREMT Basic refresher credit, preferably on the north side of Houston? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Steve: Since Texas doesn't have a refresher requirement, NR will accept CE hours in lieu of a formal refresher course so long as the same topics are covered. You might also check with County ESD-1 or Cypress Creek EMS since both have pretty active education programs. My guess is the local community colleges might also know of a refresher course, if you really want to sit through a formal refresher. -Wes Ogilvie, MPA, JD, NREMT-P Continuing Education?

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I hear ya. The biggest problem for me is the number of " live " CE's that registry requires. At this point, I'm planning on re-certifying by examination, purely because it's more convenient.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 ly, I would prefer to do it all online, but I was reading the packet I got from NR, and it lists the hours required under " Refresher " (24) - which can certainly be taken as discrete courses - but only allows 10 of the 24 to be in a " distributed " fashion. In other words, at least 14 hours have to be live " classroom " or seminar CE. The additional 48 hours can all be online, etc. I don't necessarily need a formal " refresher " course, as long as the course meets NR's requirements for live instruction hours and content.
