EMT Instructor Written Testing Resumes

The Virginia Office of EMS Division of Education announced that written EMT Instructor pre-testing will resume effective immediately. Providers who are interested in becoming EMT-B instructors may register for the written pre-test by using the Regional EMS Council's consolidated test registration process immediately.

After meeting prerequisites defined by regulation 12VAC 5-31-1500, an applicant must achieve a minimun score of 85% on the written instructor pre-test and then demonstrate competency during a formal practical examination.  After successful completion of pre-testing, an eligible EMT Instructor candidate will receive an invitation from the Office of EMS to attend an instructor institute.
       
The new exam is based on the EMT National EMS Education Standards (NEMSES).  Prior to taking the pre-test, applicants are strongly encouraged to review the education standards and related documents.  For more information on the process, see the notice from the Office of EMS.

Additional information may be found on the Virginia Office of EMS webiste.
