No offense but unless they (the proverbial they) do something like say you

had till X date now you only have till Y date to do XYZ then it's on you to

play by the rules isn't it?

In my case I had to pay an extra 25 bucks for a certification I let lapse

but was still in grace period for renewal. I caught it and paid the piper

out of my pocket not my bosses who pays for my renewals on both fire and EMS

I guess I don't understand the issue here. All you have to do to renew your

basic is report the CE and send in the money, right? Why couldn't you do that

Well,.....I would still like to see those questions answered, but I just got off

the phone with Brett Hart in Austin, and he said that I would have to finish

clinicals BEFORE my Basic expired, even if I was enrolled and attending classes.

Too close to chance that.

So up grading to EMT-I is currently out the window, till I renew my basic. Oh

pooh! If I had only two days to brush up, I could pass the written final exam

with no less than a B, Guaranteed. Skills...give me one day with an instructor.

I used to be able to place an ET tube around an EOA tube, and remove the EOA in

under 10 seconds. (in-class conditions)

No....I have plenty of time to renew my basic. I only started thinking about the

just means I cant do EMT-I till a later date.

Looks like things have changed since last I re-certified. Brett called me back,

and said he checked and I do qualify to just send in the fee, they will set me a

test date, and all I have to do is pass the State test. CE hours are no longer

required, if you do this. So thats what Im going to do. Run to the book store

and get an EMT Exam Review workbook for Texas, and do it that way. I have used

them before and they are a great help. However, if you chose this option and

fail, you may re test a couple times, but you cannot digress, and chose another

option. This is the fastest and cheapest. THEN I can do the online " I " .

Oh...forgot, ...if you dont want to test out, you can do online CE, and you dont

even have to send in proof. You just sign the form that says you have done it.

Then you must keep proof on hand for 5 years, if they audit you, and you dont

have the proof, you could be revoked. Online services usually keep your stuff

available for the 5 years, if you lose it. I checked mine on CE Solutions, and

it shows everything I have taken there. And it's a LOT of tedious work, when

done correctly. I'll have to go through that for the EMT-I so I am very glad, I

can just " Test Out " on the Basic.

I mis read your post, sorry. When I start the EMT-I I want all my attention

focused on that. Dont want to have to worry about Basic re-cert, at all. Also,

when I made that post, I didnt yet fully understand that I could just test out,

I thought I was going to HAVE to do the CE.
