EMS Practical ExamS
How do I register for a practical exam site?
To participate in a practical exam session, all candidates must register using the Practical Exam Registration Application in the LIGHTS online system.
Registration for an AEMT or Paramedic exam site requires a Practical Authorization to Test (PATT) number, which is assigned after completing an online application on the National Registry of EMTs website.
