Who is eligible for a psychomotor verification?
Individuals who are Massachusetts certified as an EMT-Basic and are seeking National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certification may complete a skills verification in lieu of psychomotor examination.
The Skills Verification may only be completed by current Massachusetts EMT-Basics and cannot be used for reinstatement of expired Massachusetts certification.
How do I receive a psychomotor skills verification?
Verification of psychomotor skills must be completed by either:
- An instructor/coordinator at a Massachusetts accredited training institution
- A training officer at an affiliated ambulance service
Once you have completed the skills verification please submit the completed NREMT Psychomotor Skills Verification Form (DOC) to NREMT by fax or mail.
For more information about the requirements for Instructor/Coordinators (I/Cs) at Massachusetts accredited training institutions or Training Officers at affiliated ambulance services to carry out the psychomotor skills verification, please see AR 2-319: Psychomotor Skills Verification in Lieu of Full Psychomotor Exam, for Certain EMTs to Obtain NREMT EMT Certification (DOC).
If your MA EMT certification has expired, you must reinstate, by following the instructions at https://www.mass.gov/info-details/reinstate-your-expired-emt-certification.
