There is no data for before 2020 as Connecticut began utilizing the national certifying exam (NREMT) in 2020.

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 EMR cognitive exam is a computer adaptive test (CAT) which covers the overall capabilities of out-of-hospital emergency care at the EMR provider level.

In order to be eligible to take the exam, candidates must successfully complete an OEMS-approved EMR training program that meets or exceeds the 2009 National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards for the EMR. 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 EMR level.

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

Initial candidates are allowed three (3) attempts in total for the cognitive exam.  After three (3) 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 3 attempts.
