Examinations

What about Paramedic Recertification Examinations? If you have taken and passed after February 1, 2013 No more examinations for Paramedics. If you have not passed since after February 1, 2013 you must continue to attempt to pass. Doesn’t prevent paramedic from getting recertified if no passing score.
