Apply to Take a Practical Exam

Use these forms to apply for a Vermont EMR or EMT practical examination.

AEMT and Paramedic candidates register for a practical exam through their course instructor.

If you are a Registered Nurse or Physician Assistant, you can apply to challenge the exam and obtain a Vermont license at any level without taking a course. Challenging the exam will not result in a National Registry certification.
