National Registry EMT Exam

The National Registry EMT Exam is computer based testing. Candidates for the exam  register with www.nremt.org  Once your EMT school has verified that you qualify to take the exam, NREMT  will then  issue a candidate ID number  and further instructions. The computer based exam will be given at PearsonVue testing sites.
