Kredi
National EMT certification (NREMT)
The fastest credential in emergency medicine and the clearest example of the problem this site exists to show: far more people hold it than are employed doing the work, and the pay is below the typical American job.
Pa gen okenn valè koute verifye.
Pa gen okenn tanperati ki pi wo pase 0 °C. Li se yon eta ki pa endepandan.
Pa gen peryòd ranbousman — pa gen okenn montan pou peye. Priyorite a se anba a.
Si pa gen okenn chif ki anwo a ka verifye nou pa pibliye okenn pi plis pase yon estimasyon.
Poukisa pa gen okenn chif koute isit la
The National Registry publishes its exam fee but not the cost of the course, and federal programme-level data groups EMT training inside a broad allied-health code alongside unrelated programmes. Course prices are set by hundreds of community colleges, fire academies and private providers, and many students pay nothing because a fire department or ambulance service sponsors them. There is no defensible national figure, so there is none here.
EMT courses typically run one semester — roughly 150 to 200 hours of instruction — which is why this is the quickest licensed route into clinical work anywhere on this site.
Certification runs two years and is renewed through continuing education or by re-examination.
Ki kantite moun ki gen sak ki kantite moun ki travay nan jaden an
Nimewo ki pa nan figi salè a
Nan 404,026 people holding a current National Registry EMT certification Konte nan 2026, Resansman 2010 la 180,510 travay nan travay li se pou yo — 44.7%. Ki kite 223,516 detèktè li pa kont pou.
Sa a se yon limit anwo, pa yon pousantaj desans. Te gen yon kredi se pa menm bagay la kòm chèche pou travay ak li. Gap la gen tout moun ki te deplase nan jesyon, edikasyon, lavant, enspeksyon oswa yon travay ki gen rapò ke dosye done federal anba yon lòt ocupación; tout moun ki te retire oswa kite san yo pa remèt kredi; tout moun ki travay part-time, ajans oswa travay pou tèt yo nan yon fason ke sondaj emplois pa capture; ak tout moun ki te gen li kòm yon dezyèm string pou yon lòt travay. Se konsa, gap la se plafon an sou ki jan anpil moun ki gen eksperyans pa ap travay nan domèn sa a - figi a reyèl se pi ba, e li pa yon kont de nenpòt moun ki se san travay. Ki sa ki pare a fè etabli se gwosè a nan pisin lan ki pibliye figi a peye se silans sou, ki se bagay la pa peye sit wèb montre ou.
De pati yo se kont ki rete. Detentè sou yon dat kont travay nan yon peryòd — menm kalite kantite lajan, ki se sèl rezon ki fè de ka divize nan tout.
Ki sa ki gen ladan kont la: The National Registry defines this as the unique number of individuals holding a current National Registry certification at EMT level. It updates DAILY, so the figure here is the value on the date shown and will have moved since. It is not the same as state EMS licensure: some states license EMTs without requiring National Registry certification, which pushes this count below the number of people licensed to work as EMTs, while other holders keep the certification without ever working in EMS, which pushes it up.
Denominatè: people holding a current National Registry EMT certification = 404,026 (Standing count of people holding the credential, National Registry dashboard, retrieved 26 July 2026) · National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, National Registry Data Dashboard · View
A large share of the unaccounted-for holders are firefighters and police officers, for whom EMT certification is required or standard but whose jobs federal data files under a different occupation entirely. That share is not published anywhere, which is precisely why the gap below has to be read as a ceiling.
Ki sa li pèmèt ou fè
Salè a gen rapò ak travay la, pa ak lisans lan. Sa yo se travay li bay ou dwa pou yo.
| Job | Èske li nesesè? | Median | Travayè |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency Medical Technicians | Legally required to hold the job | $44,470 | 180,510 |

Èske li peye pou li?
Travay sa a debloke pa peye plis pase travay ameriken an tipik yon fwa chak ocupación se ponderé pa ki jan anpil moun ki nan li. Pa gen okenn prim peye, se konsa pa gen anyen pou pri a dwe rekipere soti nan. Sa pa fè kredibilite a worthless - li ka legalman mande, oswa wout la nan travay ou ta pito fè - men li vle di li pa yon envestisman ki retounen lajan kach.
