CAMATA has kept the records for the course participants since 2008.  It should be remembered that the course has a five year expiry date.  As a result, if you have taken the course since 2008, it is possible to get a replacement certificate at a cost of $10.00, to cover the costs of production and mailing.  Payment can be made by cheque or PayPal.  You can request a replacement certificate by emailing info@camata.ca and providing the following information:

  • Name
  • Date of CAMATA Course (if not sure – provide the month (or time of year) and year course was completed.
  • Address to which the certificate should be sent
  • How you intend to pay.
How do I renew the CAMATA Air Medical Training Program Level I when it expires after five years?
  • You can take the course in its entirety. This is recommended if it is more than six years since you took the course.
  • There is a ONE day renewal program that reviews the key content of the course and updates your knowledge of the most important course content.

To determine when / where courses are being held, you can check the CAMATA.ca website or email info@camata.ca and ask about future programs.

What courses are available through CAMATA?

Currently the most popular course provided by CAMATA is the CAMATA Air Medical Training Program Level I.  A one day Renewal program is available for those who completed the CAMATA Air Medical Training Program Level I over 5 years ago.

Another course which will be available effective the fall of 2021 is the CAMATA Air Medical Training Program for Pilots and Flight Coordinator.  This program offers information to those involved in air medical transport, but are not the providers of patient care.

The CAMATA Air Medical Training Program Level II is currently under development and our plan is to have it completed by the fall of 2022.  Stay tuned!
