CLASSES
As of January 1, 2010 courses leading to EMS licensure that are held in Maine must be conducted by a Maine EMS Authorized Training Center. The Maine State EMS office does not directly deliver EMS licensure classes.
Please see the list on this page for Maine EMS approved Training Centers that offer classes leading to EMR, EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic licensure.
Please note: If you are attending or considering attending an out-of-state EMS certification/licensure program, please review this Operational Bulletin Clarification on Rules for EMS Licensure Programs and Placements (PDF) (10/10/25)
