State of Michigan/National Registry Licensing Process

Examination/License Application
Upon successful completion of a certificate of study, the didactic instructor within one of the final courses in the sequence will issue an application to the student for examination by the National Registry. Successful completion of the National Registry practical and written examination is used to apply for a State of Michigan license. Registry certification may also be used to apply for licensing in other states where it is accepted. The Registry Examination form will be completed in the following classes:

Medical First Responder certificate, EMT 110 lecture
Basic EMT certificate, EMT 120
Specialist certificate, N/A
Paramedic certificate, EMT 168
EMS I/C, EMT 285 (State form)

KCC will attempt to make the National Registry Exam available for students to complete on the Battle Creek Campus. In some situations, the exam may be held at an alternate location. KCC cannot promise the location, date or specific time of the exam for National Registry. Every effort will be made to make this as conducive to the students schedule as possible.

The fee's for taking the National Registry Licensing Exams are as follows:


Registry Exam Fee	$20	$20	$45	$50	NA
Administration Fee (SWMS)
Written & Practical	NA	$60	$80	$100	NA
Practical Only (Full Retest)	NA	$40	$60	$80	NA
Practical Only (Partial Skills Retest)	NA	$30	$50	$65	NA
Written Only	$20	$20	$20	$20	$20
Total cost for Initial Written and Practical (If required) Exams	$40	$80	$125	$150	$20

This fee is set by SWMS Systems and the National Registry and is accurate at the time of printing this document. KCC assumes no responsibility for changes in the fees since this is beyond the EMS Programs control.

If successfully on the exam results, an application for Licensing can be made to the State of Michigan. License forms can be obtained from the EMS Office or Instructors. This form, Registration results and a fee must be mailed to the MDCIS licensing division to obtain a license to practice in the State of Michigan.

Medical First Responder	no fee
Basic EMT	$40.00
Specialist EMT	$60.00

Registry status does not need to be maintained to re-license in the State of Michigan, however ongoing education credits do. It is the students responsibility to decide how and what licenses (National or State) they will maintain.
