Your FP-C recert, punched.
An FP-C runs 4 years, and IBSC has no grace period. Put in your expiration date, punch in your 100 CE hours as you earn them, and put the date on your calendar with a reminder 60 days out. Or skip the hours and retake the exam. Free, no sign-up, and it all stays on this phone.

Keep it safe
Everything here lives in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else. Keep your CE certificates; IBSC audits every submission. Back it up before you switch phones or clear your browser.
How to renew
- Pick your path. Submit 100 CE hours in your IBSC account, or sit for the FP-C exam again (the computer-based recert exam costs the same as recert by CE).
- Finish the hours inside your 4-year period: at least 75 clinical, 16 of them from an IBSC-approved FP-C review course, and no more than 25 operational. One contact hour is 50 minutes; NRP and STABLE count.
- Skip what doesn't count: BLS, ACLS, PALS and PEPP, PHTLS, BTLS, ITLS and TNCC, AMLS (provider or instructor), new employee orientation, and in-services under 50 minutes.
- Keep your paramedic license current and unrestricted, and report any restriction to IBSC.
- Upload 2 to 4 months before your date: a copy of your paramedic license, every CE certificate, and the fee, in your IBSC account. Uploads open 4 months out. IBSC audits all CE and approval can take up to three weeks.
- Beat the 30-day line. Anything sent less than 30 days before your date costs a $125 late processing fee, and that fee doesn't promise approval before you expire.
| Fee (IBSC exam fees page) | Affiliate member | Non-member |
|---|---|---|
| Recert by CE | $285 | $385 |
| Recert by computer-based exam | $285 | $385 |
| Late processing, under 30 days out | $125 | $125 |
All renewal fees are nonrefundable. Fees: IBSC exam fees; late fee: FP-C recertification page.
If you miss your date
- No grace period. IBSC: "Renewal requests submitted beyond the certification expiration date will not be accepted - there is no grace period."
- After your date, getting the FP-C back means registering for and passing the exam again.
- Cutting it close costs too: under 30 days out, the $125 late processing fee applies.
