Advanced first aid training 16h

New things in the course include the study and treatment of a disabled patient, as well as tactics in a multi-patient situation. The course consists mainly of exercises. You can participate in the course if the participant has a valid First Aid 16-hour qualification (formerly EA1 qualification, EA1 card).

Target audience

EA advanced training is suitable for all first aid course EA1 graduates who want to deepen and expand their knowledge and skills. Those who have completed an advanced first aid course at 16 hours will receive a first aid card valid for three (3) years. The first aid card can be extended for another three years by taking a first aid course 8h before the card expires.

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.
