Are graduates automatically eligible to work in other states after certification?

Updated August 19, 2026

Graduates are eligible to work in Texas after receiving state licensure; however, for other states, additional steps may be required depending on local regulations. To learn about EMS licensure requirements in other states, students should consult the official website of each state's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) regulatory agency. These agencies provide detailed information on licensure processes, educational prerequisites, and certification standards specific to their state. A comprehensive list of state EMS offices can be found on the 

National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) website

. Additionally, the 

EMS Compact website

 offers resources on multi-state practice privileges for EMS personnel.
