The WFR Recertification course is pre-approved for 18 hours of Emt CEU’s by Cecbems.
Recertification Requirements
If you hold a current Wilderness First Responder certification of at least 70 hours, you will receive a Wmi WFR certification upon successful completion of your WFR Recertification course. If you hold a valid WFR certification from Wmi, we ask you to bring your certification card so that the instructor can verify your expiration date. Students holding a current WFR certification from any other organization are Required to submit a photocopy of their certification card on the first day of the course. If you hold a current WFR certification from any other wilderness medicine organization with less than a 70 hour certification, you will receive a letter of course completion in lieu of a Wmi WFR certification. This letter of completion may allow you to recertify with your original certifying organization. You must contact that organization prior to your Wmi course to ensure that our course will meet their requirements for recertification.
All students are required to submit a photocopy of their WFR certification card on the first day of the course.
There is a one-year grace period for recertification of Wmi cards. (Keep in mind that your certification is not current during this grace period and therefore you can not work as a Wilderness First Responder.)
You will be required to complete a Written Exam at the Beginning of the course. Check the following web page for information and resources on how to best prepare for your course. http://www.nols.edu/wmi/about/faq.shtml#prepare
