Nearly all new certification applications reviewed are deficient because no course completion certificate was included. This causes an unnecessary delay in processing because a deficiency letter is then be sent to the applicant.
A course completion certificate or document is:

• The only way to identify that an individual has completed a Washington State DOH approved EMS course.
• Is required as an attachment to the certification application.
• A requirement responsibility of the Senior EMS Instructor or lead instructor (for intermediate and paramedic training) as part of conducting the course.
