(exit DHS), every group that operates as or

Basic Service
Licensure
If a Basic service is not a licensed provider submit an operational plan.
Follow the links below for the needed documents:
Individual Basic Certification
Just like any other type of EMS licensure, an individual must obtain
their initial Basic provider license within 24 months of successfully completing the
Basic course.
This must be completed from their E-Licensing account which can be accessed by
clicking this E-Licensing
(exit DHS) link. After this has been
obtained the Basic will need to complete a Local Credential Agreement (LCA)
for the service they wish to be affiliated with. Only after both the
Service and Medical Directors approve the LCA will the individual be added to
the service's roster.
Services that wish to provide
in-house flexible refresher training may do so by following the directions
listed for EMT-Basic In-House Flexible
Refresher Request For specific requirements for all
levels go to the Renewal/Retraining
Requirements page.
