Training Officers

We've added many new features exclusively for Training Officers including an enhanced Training Officer Dashboard, an enhanced agency roster, the ability to easily copy a class (for example that CPR class offered every month), and the ability to assign NREMT recertification topics for multiple levels in one class!

The Role of a NREMT Training Officer

Training Officers validate the continued competency of Nationally Registered EMS personnel by approving continuing education records entered by agency affiliates. In some agencies, Training Officers enter course records on behalf of affiliated personnel. The role of Training Officer is to be treated responsibly, with attentiveness given to all affiliates seeking NREMT recertification.

WHO APPROVES THE CONTINUING EDUCATION OF TRAINING OFFICERS?

Training Officers may not approve their own continuing education. The continuing education of Training Officers must be approved by another Training Officer at their agency. If there is only one Training Officer, it is recommended that the agency's Medical Director add the Training Officer role to their NREMT account in order to approve the continuing education of the Training Officer. The steps to add an additional Training Officer to your agency are listed above under the "HOW TO AFFILIATE AS A TRAINING OFFICER AT AN EXISTING AGENCY" question above.
