The goal of the Paramedic Refresher course is to provide a review of content and skills required for certificate renewal at the paramedic level. Included is 60 hours of instruction, including lab time. The course meets or exceeds all National Continued Competency Program and the Colorado Paramedic certificate renewal requirements. It is designed to refresh and reinforce previous knowledge and explore new concepts. The instructors provide clinically relevant information to help providers stay current on the latest medical and trauma management methods. This course is also an excellent opportunity to network with other Paramedics from across the region. Your eligibility to re-certify must be verified by you with the National Registry and the State of Colorado. If you are admitted into the Paramedic Refresher course, Arapahoe Community College EMS makes no guarantee of your ability to recertify through National Registry or the State of Colorado.

This course is hybrid with both online and in-person instruction with a BCBA instructor and will meet the requirements needed to sit for the RBT certification exam through the BACB. Classes are held Tuesday (remotely) and Thursday (in-person) evenings from 6-8:30pm. Students may be responsible for completing the required competency assessment on their own after successfully completing the RBT course.
