About our emt recertification membership programme
The Jamaica Rescue Academy (JRA) EMT Recertification Membership Programme is designed to help Emergency Medical Technicians maintain and demonstrate their professional knowledge, clinical skills, and competency through structured continuing education. Unlike a traditional recertification course, this programme does not require members to sit through an entire course or repeat training in areas where they have already demonstrated competence. Instead, EMTs become members of the Jamaica Rescue Academy and accumulate a minimum of 72 hours of continuing education by completing the educational components outlined in the programme. Members have the flexibility to complete the available learning components, participate in practical training, undertake online continuing education activities, and engage in other approved educational opportunities until they have accumulated the required hours. Once the 72 hours have been completed and supporting documentation has been submitted and verified, the member proceeds to the final recertification assessment.
Continuing Education Components: The programme offers the following educational areas through which members can accumulate their continuing education hours. Educational component Credit allocation Airway Management 4 credits International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) 16 credits Basic Medical Life Support 16 credits Basic Life Support (BLS) 4 credits EMS Operations 4 credits Local EMS Protocols 4 credits Local Healthcare System 2 credits Local Disaster Preparedness 2 credits Self-Directed Learning Projects 4 credits Online Continuing Education 3 credits Community Service and Public Education 3 credits What Happens After You Accumulate 72 Hours? Once you have: • Accumulated at least 72 hours of eligible continuing education. • Submitted proof of your completed hours. • Received verification and approval from JRA. • Completed the required self-preparation activities. • No Additional Recertification Assessment Fee You will be invited to attend the academy for your final written and practical assessments. Your written multiple-choice examination and practical skills assessment are provided at no additional cost to eligible members who have satisfied the programme requirements. One of the major benefits of the JRA programme is that members are not required to pay an additional course or examination fee to complete the JRA recertification assessments. Successful candidates will receive the applicable recertification certification.
