Emergency Vehicle Technician 1
Certification / Recertification Instructions
Overview
The California Office of the State Fire Marshal Emergency Vehicle Technician (EVT) 1 Certification is based on
the NFPA 1071: Emergency Vehicle Technician I Professional Qualifications set by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA).
Persons with EVT 1 Certification are required to renew their certification every five (5) years. The
recertification requires that the applicant completes 100 hours of approved continuing education (CE) and
meet the all prerequisites stated in Recertification Requirements (Option B). All recertification applications
must be postmarked on or before the certification expiration date. If the certified EVT 1 did not meet all
recertification requirements by the expiration date, the EVT 1 Certification is considered to be lapsed.
If the EVT 1 Certification lapsed, the applicant will be required to complete 100 hours of CE in addition to the
completion of additional CE hours. If the certification lapsed less than 6 months, you can regain EVT 1
Certification by completing an additional 8 hours of approved CE. If the certification lapsed between 6 months
and less than 12 months, you can regain EVT 1 Certification by completing an additional 16 hours of approved
CE. If the certification lapsed between 12 months and less than 18 months, you can regain EVT 1 Certification
by completing an additional 24 hours of approved CE. For lapses, greater than 18 months, the applicant will
need to retake all SFT courses listed in the Certification Requirements (Option A) Education section and
reapply for initial EVT 1 certification, which will require the completion of a new Certification Task Book.
Applicants for initial certification use Option A and Applicants for recertification use Option B.
