The PEPP Course is sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and is designed to meet the minimum standards related to the pediatric portion of the US Department of Transportation National Standard Curriculum for EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate, and EMT-Paramedic providers. The American Academy of Pediatrics is not able to award continuing education credits for completion of the PEPP Course. PEPP Course Coordinators need to work with the appropriate agency in their region to arrange for securing continuing education credits for the participants. If not certain about how to secure continuing education credits in your state, contact the EMS office in your state.

Course Coordinators can also apply to a national organization for continuing education credit. A few examples are below:
