This document is not required but is an optional tool to assist in tracking flexible training hours for EMT Basic standard renewal. Continuing education is a personal responsibility. You should evaluate your skills and knowledge to determine areas of weakness and plan educational opportunities in your scope of practice to improve your individual competence.
To be eligible for recertification as an EMT Intermediate Technician/AEMT, you must meet all of the following eligibility and training requirements as specified in DHS 110.07:
Complete a 42-hour EMT Intermediate Technician/AEMT refresher training between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2016. Renewal education can be completed in the following format:

b. Complete a 30-hour traditional Basic refresher course at a Wisconsin-approved EMS Training Center AND a 12-hour EMT Intermediate Technician/AEMT refresher training at a Wisconsin-approved EMS Training Center.
c. Complete an alternative flexible refresher which includes 24-hours of Basic flexible content, a six-hour mini refresher at a Wisconsin-approved EMS Training Center AND 12-hours of medical director-approved EMT Intermediate Technician/AEMT refresher based on curriculum. (The refresher must be approved by the medical director of the service where you are credentialed.)
Note: You can use portions of each described above in items a., or b. provided the full 42 hours have been met. Example: You could take a formal 30-hour traditional Basic refresher and 12 hours of medical director-approved flexible content based on the EMT Intermediate Technician/AEMT curriculum.
