Depending on where you live/work, you have to pass National Registry and after that, do what ever is required to become licensed in that state. Most states, it's a matter of paperwork and some money. Others, it's another test. And lots of employers will give a written test on the day of your interview. You can't just pass the classes and be an EMT.
