Axene Continuing Education, LLC offers CEUs for EMS providers in most states. Continuing education requirements vary by state and may change. Users are responsible for verifying requirements with their agency and/or state EMS office, including whether specific courses are required for the local/state NREMT component. Where specific education is not mandated, required hours are considered flexible but must be directly related to EMS patient care. We do our best to keep information current — please check with your state EMS representative for the most up-to-date recertification information.
