Continuing Education

All CEs used for recertification must be issued from an approved State of California CE provider (see links to lists below).

Please note: It is the responsibility of the EMT, Paramedic or MICN to be familiar with the continuing education requirements, for initial certification or renewal, for the State of California. Requirements vary state to state.

Failure to provide all required information, including evidence that submitted CE for recertification has State of California CE provider approval, will result in a delay and/or return of the application.
