FAQs for Jon Puryear EMS CE, LLC
Frequently Asked Questions for Jon Puryear EMS CE
Are your Paramedic and EMT online live classes and Online Courses accepted by the NREMT?
Yes. They the Paramedic and EMT Online Courses are taught in a State Approved Virtual Instructor Led Online Live Classroom which is classified as F5 category CEs. Jon Puryear was the very first company to work with the NREMT in 2009 to perform an Online Live Class and have it accepted. The NREMT has since approved and defined the VILCs based off of what Jon Puryear created. So you can say that Jon Puryear is the "Father of the VILCs".
If I have failed the NREMT Paramedic and EMT written exam 3 times, do I have to take the Online Live Class or can I take the Recorded Online Courses version?
In order to get another 3 attempts at the Paramedic, Advanced, and EMT NREMT written exam, you must take the Online Refresher Course. The NREMT now accepts an unlimited amount of Recorded Online CE /Distance Learning hours. I recommend taking the Live Online Refresher as it has a 92-95% pass rate because you dedicate yourself to attend the specific dates/times to take the class.
Do I have to attend every listed date/time of the Paramedic and EMT Online Live Class?
Yes. In order to receive the full Paramedic and EMT CE credit, you must attend all listed dates/times of the online live class and actively participate by answering the questions posed by Jon Puryear during the lectures. They are "live" online courses.
Is there special software or equipment that I need on my computer to take the Paramedic and EMT Online Live Classes?
You do not need a webcam or a microphone. You will see and hear Jon Puryear during the lectures but he can't see or hear you. You will be logged into his Virtual Instructor Led Online Live Classroom in a chat room.
Will I receive a certificate for the Paramedic and EMT online live classes?
Yes you will be emailed a Certificate of Completion for the Paramedic and EMT Online Live Class and Live Online Courses that you successfully complete following the class. You will be able to save and print this certificate and provide it to the Agency of your choice.
Are there any required Paramedic and EMT textbooks to complete the online live class or online courses?
No. Paramedic and EMT handouts and instructions will be emailed to you after registration and payment have been made for the Online Live Class or Online Courses and one week prior to the beginning of the class.
Can I perform the Paramedic and EMT Online Recorded Courses at my own convenience?
Yes. For the 1 hour Paramedic and EMT CE Online Courses, it is free to register and view all of the classes. You may then enroll and pay for the class you wish to take. For the 24 hour EMT Refresher CE Package and the 48 hour Paramedic Refresher CE Package, you must register and pay for the course. Your account is activated once you pay for the course. Each individual class in the course will issue its own CE certificate that you may save and print for your records and send to the Agency of your choice. Once you have completed ALL individual classes in the Refresher Course, the last course will allow you to print one certificate for the entire Refresher Course.
I am trying to pass the NREMT Paramedic and EMT written exam and would like to take a prep class to help me learn the material. Which online courses would you recommend I take?
There is a 16 hour NREMT Prep Class/Review that is an online recorded class that may be taken at your own convenience. There is an EMT version and a Paramedic version (Advanced usually take the Paramedic version as there currently isn't a specific Advanced prep course). This is a great review where Jon Puryear teaches the information beginning with Operations and ending with Pediatrics so that you "get it" and to help you identify where your strengths and weaknesses are. Both of these courses were specifically designed to help students pass the NREMT written exam. You may find more information about this course at www.nationalregistryprep.com. If you feel that you need a more in depth review course, then we recommend you take the online recorded refresher course (EMT and Paramedic versions).
Will my State accept your Paramedic and EMT Online Courses and Online Live Class CE hours for my State recertification?
All Paramedic and EMT Online Courses and Online Live Classes award CE hours through State of Texas CE Program 600232 Jon Puryear CE. You will have to check with your State EMS Agency and ask them if they accept out of state Texas CE Program hours.
Are your Paramedic and EMT Online Courses and Online Live Classes CAPCE approved?
No. However the NREMT accepts State Approved Virtual Instructor Led Online Live Classroom (F5 category) CE hours, Paramedic and EMT Refreshers, and transition courses. The Live Online Courses do NOT have to be CAPCE accredited for these types of CE hours. The recorded online CE classes/packages award State of Texas CE Program CE hours. They are a State Approved CE Program defined by the NREMT.
Are What are the NREMT requirements if my NREMT certification has lapsed?
