Emergency first aid course 8h

Emergency first aid measures aim to ensure the breathing and circulation of the injured person and to prevent the condition from deteriorating until professional assistance arrives. The course can be used to renew a valid EA1, EA2 or emergency first aid qualification. The course is also available as a four (4) hour shorter training.

Target audience

The training is suitable for anyone who wants to learn emergency first aid measures. If the participant is already qualified for EA1, it can be renewed on the course for three years to come. After completing the course, you will receive a course certificate that is valid for three (3) years. It is also possible to obtain a professional qualification mark from first aid course 8h.

All our trainers are first aid and health information trainers (ETK) or emergency first aid trainers (HEK) trained and approved by the Finnish Red Cross.
