NREMT Waived Distributive Education guidelines: In September 2022 the National Registry’s Board of Directors announced 22-Resolution-06, which addresses the permanent removal of limits on Distributive Education. According to the NREMT Website this “applies to all requirements for continuing education, including recertification, state license and re-entry eligibility requirements, and refresher training after three failed examinations.”
