The primary focus of the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician is to provide basic and limited advanced emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical system. This individual possesses the basic knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and transportation. Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians function as part of a comprehensive EMS response, under medical oversight. Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians perform interventions with the basic and advanced equipment typically found on an ambulance. The Advanced Emergency Medical Technician is a link from the scene to the emergency health care system.

The Cognitive Exam

Apply For A Cognitive Exam

The National Registry Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) cognitive exam is a linear computer based test (CBT). Each candidate will answer 135 questions (items). Each exam will have 100 ‘live’ items that count toward the final score. The exam will also have 35 pilot questions that do not affect the final score. The maximum amount of time given to complete the exam is 2 hours and 15 minutes.

The exam will cover the entire spectrum of EMS care including: Airway, Respiration & Ventilation; Cardiology & Resuscitation; Trauma; Medical; Obstetrics/Gynecology; EMS Operations. Items related to patient care are focused on adult and geriatric patients (85%) and pediatric patients (15%). In order to pass the exam, candidates must meet a standard level of competency. The passing standard is defined by the ability to provide safe and effective entry level emergency medical care.

We strongly encourage candidates to review the following information:

Candidates are given a total of six opportunities to pass the Advanced EMT cognitive examination, provided all other requirements for National EMS Certification are met. After three attempts, candidates must submit official documentation verifying completion of remedial training. Remedial training must be completed by a state approved instructor or an approved CAPCE course. After remedial training is complete, the candidate is given three additional attempts to pass the Advanced EMT cognitive exam, provided all other requirements for National Certification are met.

Psychomotor Exam Retest Information

Advanced EMT candidates are allowed two full attempts to pass the psychomotor examination (one 'full attempt' is defined as completing all skills and two retesting opportunities if so entitled).

Candidates are eligible to retest four or less skills when taking a full attempt of the psychomotor examination. Candidates are eligible for two retest attempts of the four or less skills failed. If offered, only one retest attempt may be completed on the same day. Failure of any skill on the second retest attempt constitutes complete failure of the entire psychomotor examination. Candidates who fail five or more skills have failed the entire psychomotor examination.

Candidates who fail a full attempt or any portion of a second retest attempt must submit official documentation of remedial training over all skills before starting the next full attempt of the psychomotor examination and re-examining over all nine skills, provided all other requirements for National Certification are fulfilled.

This official documentation must be signed by a Program Director, Training Officer, or Medical Director that verifies remedial training over all skills has occurred since the last unsuccessful attempt and the candidate has demonstrated competence in all skills.

Documentation may be emailed to support@nremt.org.

Should a candidate fail the second full and final attempt of the psychomotor examination, the candidate must complete a new, state approved Advanced EMT Training Program.

Passed portions of the psychomotor examination remain valid for 24 months. This policy is effective for candidates with a course completion date on or after November 1, 2018. For candidates with a course completion date prior to November 1, 2018, passed portions of each examination is valid for 12 months.
