How do you renew an EMS certification in Vermont?
Vermont has used NCCP since July 2015 and its CE requirement is identical to NREMT's, 16, 40, 50 and 60 hours every two years. In practice NREMT is required: a lapsed NREMT must be regained to renew the Vermont license. The Vermont Emergency First Responder level has its own small topic-based CE.

What each level needs
| Level | Requirement |

| VEFR | small topic-based CE |
| EMR | 16 hours |
| EMT | 40 hours |
| AEMT | 50 hours |
| Paramedic | 60 hours |
How this relates to NREMT
Vermont requires you to hold current National Registry certification, so the NREMT cycle drives your renewal. See the NREMT requirements by level.
