Step 1: Email Initial Application for Training and Educational Institution (KBEMS-E14 TEI Application.pdf) to bob.andrew@ky.gov​. 

Step 2: After the application is received, the new TEI will be added to KEMSIS and the TEI Administrator will be notified by email to make the $200.00 payment through the TEI KEMSIS account.

Step 3: After payment has been received, the TEI Administrator will upload the required policies found in the TEI worksheet located on the KBEMS Forms Page.

Step 4: The TEI Administrator will notify bob.andrew@ky.gov once the policies are uploaded to the TEI. A desk review will be conducted and if all policies are approved a remote site visit will be scheduled to verify the equipment required in the E-12 form located on the KBEMS Forms Page.

In order for students of a Kentucky-certified TEI to be allowed to obtain certification as an EMT-Paramedic by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, your TEI must be certified as an EMS-TEI 4, which includes the ability to teach EMR, EMT, AEMT, and EMT-P courses, and you must also be either accredited or actively seeking accreditation (Letter of Review - LOR) through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) in cooperation with the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP)
