Training Centers

As of January 1, 2010 courses leading to EMS licensure that are held in Maine must be conducted by a Maine EMS Authorized Training Center.  The Maine State EMS office does not directly deliver EMS licensure classes.

All Paramedic programs must also be CAAHEP accredited, a process separate from Maine EMS training center licensure.  A training center must be licensed by Maine EMS as well as accredited by CAAHEP to conduct paramedic classes leading to NREMT certification.
