"Approved"
doesn't mean
certified
Q: I just submitted my
Recertfi cation form electronically
and the status reads, 'Approved".
Does that mean my application is
approved?
A: No, your Recertification
application will need
to be reviewed by EMS
Certification staff before it is
approved and you are issued
a new certification card. The
online application is listed
as "approved" by the online
system, which indicates that
the online system has accepted
your payment and application.
We hope to have that wording
modified soon to avoid further
confusion. Contact the EMS
Certification office at (512)
834-6734 if you have additional
questions.November/December 2012 Texas EMS Magazine 9
