The following year, the Academy achieved Organizational Accreditation status with the Continuing Education Coordinating Board for EMS; this accreditation confirms gold standard content material and is recognized by the National Registry of EMTs.

World-Wide Reach
Since its inception, NEMSA has remained on the forefront of cutting-edge technology. In 2010, Online NEMSA was introduced giving medics around the world access to first-class, EMS continuing education, via the Internet. The Academy is part of a select few of EMS training providers in the U.S. that are accredited to present online content for recertification that is accepted by state and national regulatory agencies as live training credit hours. Managed by virtual instructor-led training, students and instructors are able to simultaneously view content and communicate in real-time, allowing medics to obtain all required continuing education credits from any location.
“NEMSA has developed into a world-class EMS training facility thanks to our exceptional instructional staff. With more than 100 years of educational experience, their abundance of knowledge is vital for our students to receive and in turn, administer the best care possible to our patients.” — Acadian Chief Medical Officer Dr. Charles Burnell
