Education and Training Standards 2007
PHECC is the national body with responsibility for standards, education and training in the field of pre-hospital emergency care in Ireland. Council sets the education standards and conducts the examinations leading to the National Qualification in Emergency Technology (NQEMT). In April 2007, new Education and Training Standards were published by PHECC replacing the NAAC 1995 Standards.
In September 2009, Council approved an update on Council Rules for Recognised Institutions, Courses and Teaching Faculty, click here for full information.
