The Council also manages the National Qualification in Emergency Medical Technology (NQEMT) examination process for developing course content, authoring examination questions, training of examiners, invigilation, as well as clinical oversight of examinations, issuing examination results, and ultimately, awarding the NQEMT at EMT, Paramedic and Advanced Paramedic Level.

Alison Bell, head of growth, TestReach, said: “TestReach is delighted to partner with PHECC to provide the innovative solutions required to support PHECC’s ambitious strategy for exceptional exam delivery. The Council has a crucial objective of confirming that any emergency care is provided by skilled and trained professionals, and we feel absolutely privileged to provide our innovative technology assessment solution for the delivery and support of the Council’s computer-based examinations.”
