Effective December 1, 2010, all continuing education course sponsors who have applied for blanket approvals for continuing education courses must notify OEMS and the Regional Councils of upcoming training sessions held under that approval number at least two weeks prior to such sessions. Failure to provide such notice may result in delays in crediting individual EMTs for the courses and may lead to delay in processing their EMT recertification.  Form to notify CMEMSC when using a blanket approval.
