The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) is a nationally recognized organization that provides a certification process that assess the knowledge and skills required for competent practice by EMS professionals. The EMT cognitive exam is a computer adaptive test (CAT) which covers the overall capabilities of out-of-hospital emergency care at the AEMT provider level.

In order to be eligible to take the exam, candidates must successfully complete an OEMS-approved AEMT training program that meets or exceeds the 2009 National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards for the AEMT.The exam reflects on the performance of patient care through data obtained from the NREMT Practice Analysis and essential job requirements. The certification implies that the candidate has met the standard level of competency at the AEMT level.

A candidate that receives certification through NREMT is then eligible to receive a State of Connecticut AEMT certificate.

Initial candidates are allowed six (6) attempts in total for the cognitive exam. After three (3) attempts a refresher course is required before the fourth (4) attempt is allowed. After six (6) failures, a candidate must repeat a full training program before any additional attempts are allowed.

This measure is of the cumulative pass rate out of 6 attempts.
