As the article indicates, licensing is handled state-by-state, and then once one gets his or her state license, you go study for a nationwide license. My daughter had to do this for her paramedic certificate. In addition to the classroom, it requires x number of hours experience, which she acquired volunteering at a local fire station as an EMT.
