In accordance with the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) Standard IV.B.2, all accredited Paramedic programs must publish annual NREMT (National Registry) written and, when applicable, practical exam results, Paramedic program retention rates, and Paramedic positive placement/employment outcomes.

2025 Paramedic Program Outcomes
For the National Registry / certification exam, the closest public national comparison found is the National Registry’s 2025 Annual Certification Report. For Paramedic, it shows 23,483 tested and an 82% pass rate on the certification examination in 2025. NREMT
CoAEMSP also published a workforce/data summary showing a broader 88% NREMT exam pass rate, 79% average retention rate, and 93% positive placement based on CoAEMSP program annual report data. CoAEMSP
The following table shows RTI’s 2025 paramedic program outcomes alongside the closest available public national comparison data. National figures are not always reported in the exact same format as program-level CoAEMSP outcomes, so comparisons should be read as general context rather than exact category-to-category equivalents.
.
| Outcome | RTI 2025 | Comparable National Figure |
|---|---|---|
| NR Cognitive Exam, 1st attempt | 62% | No directly comparable public national first-attempt figure identified. |
| NR Cognitive Exam, within 3 attempts | 82% | National Registry 2025 Paramedic certification exam pass rate: 82% |
| NR Cognitive Exam, all attempts | 88% | CoAEMSP summary lists 88% NREMT exam pass rate |
| Attrition | 28% | CoAEMSP summary implies about 21% did not complete training |
| Retention | 72% graduated | CoAEMSP summary lists 79% average retention rate |
| Positive Placement | 100% employed | CoAEMSP summary lists 93% positive placement |
Important note: The National Registry public dashboard percentage is not clearly labeled the same way as CoAEMSP’s “within 3 attempts” or “all attempts” outcome reporting. CoAEMSP requires accredited programs to publicly report outcomes such as national/state credentialing exam, retention, and placement based on the program’s annual report, and it sets a 70% threshold for retention, positive placement, and written exam outcomes. CoAEMSP
For context, the 2025 National Registry public data reports an 82% Paramedic certification examination pass rate nationally, while CoAEMSP workforce summary data reports an 88% NREMT exam pass rate, 79% average retention, and 93% positive placement for CoAEMSP program data.
RTI’s 2025 positive placement rate was 100%. The program’s 88% all-attempt National Registry pass rate aligns with the CoAEMSP comparison figure. RTI’s 72% retention rate remains above CoAEMSP’s 70% threshold, though below the 79% average cited in the comparison data.
