Thought you had to take national exam to get NJ EMT. No reciprocity.
Nope. Apparently not, I thought so too
Exemptions from the New Jersey State EMT Refresher Course & Written Certification Exam
Reciprocity applicants validly certified/licensed as an “EMT” (2009 National Educational
Standards) from any state/US territory and/or the NREMT will be permitted to obtain a New Jersey
EMT certification without having to complete the refresher course or the state written examination.
All applicants must complete the verification process. Your NJ certification expiration date
will be based upon the issuance date of your state/US territory and/or NREMT certification/license.
