Please check your application for completion and legibility. If your application is incomplete or illegible, it will be returned and
program approval will be delayed.
As a reminder, in accordance with AR 2-212, course completion documentation must be provided to the EMT at the completion of
the course. Program sponsors shall issue course completion certificates or provide attendees with a copy of the roster signed by the
instructor and student. The program sponsor is responsible for retaining the original signed roster for seven years. If personnel have
Massachusetts EMT certification, they are to use that certification number on the attendance roster, and not another state or
NREMT certification number. Please reference AR 2-212 for what a course completion certificate must contain.
