Continuing Education Hours (CEH)

All licensed EMS Providers including instructor coordinators (IC) and EMS Dispatchers must have continuing education in order to relicense. The relicensure period of EMS providers and ICs is three (3) years. For EMS Dispatchers it is (2) years. Continuing education leading to relicensure can be accomplished by two main methods. The first is by successfully completing the required Refresher Course for the specific license level. The second way is to accumulate the required number of CEH credits in the prescribed categories for the license level.

Instructor Coordinators (IC) must have 24 hours of Category 7 (Instructor Coordinator Recertification) in a three year period. In a three year period, Instructor Coordinators may apply a maximum of 6 hours of CEH credits in Category 7 towards their IC license renewal for teaching EMS Licensing Courses.

Information on CEH can be found in the Maine EMS Rules in Chapters 8 and 9.
