- What is the difference between certification and licensure?
Certification means that you have successfully completed a course of instruction and have been examined and issued a certificate to that effect. Licensure grants you official permission to use the skills for which you are certified. To practice as an EMS provider at any level, you must be licensed, and to be licensed, you must first be certified. If your certification expires, it may render your license invalid. Check with the Licensing Coordinator for a more complete explanation at 603-223-4218, or e-mail kathy.doolan@dos.nh.gov.

- What about waivers or other special situations?
Waivers are intended to provide temporary relief in special extreme situations. They are not a way to get around existing rules or licensing requirements. Each request for a waiver is evaluated individually by the Director, who makes the final determination about granting the waiver. Requesting a waiver generally requires producing considerable documentation and verification of the special nature of the situation and reason for the request. Contact Clay Odell, Bureau Chief at (603) 223-4200, or e-mail Clay.Odell@dos.nh.gov.
