The NJ EMT Training Fund will continue to reimburse

• Our Emergency Medical Technician-Basic Initial Training Program
• Which requires submission of a Certificate of Eligibility for an EMT-Basic Course instead of the one for continuing education courses.
  
• Our EMT-B Core Refresher ("Core 13") Program
• Requiring a Certificate of Eligibility for Continuing Education Courses (available in Adobe .pdf format or Microsoft Word format)
• Subscriptions to The Gold Cross magazine
• Training offered at the NJ State First Aid Council Convention and NJ Statewide Conference on EMS

• Be an active member of an eligible NJ volunteer ambulance agency, according to OEMS.
• Mail both a completed registration form and appropriate Certificate of Eligibility together to the address on the registration form.
  • A separate training fund form must be provided for each student per course. One form cannot be used for multiple courses or multiple students.
