Even though I had received first aid training, I still learned more here.

The online course was the right learning environment for me. The course content was really varied and I got much more out of it than I would have done from an EA course on the spot. The implementation with videos, readings and tests made the course interesting and intensive, thank you!

I completed the emergency censorship course as an online course. The course was clear and comprehensive, covering much more than teaching basic CPR. The material was in video and text format.

Good and clear kurssi👍🏻

My experience of the training was very good. But the training for drivers to get a directive day was a bit tedious because you have to stretch the time to meet the minimum time for the tasks, i.e. 7 hours. This probably applies to participants who have received first aid training before and are already familiar with the topics and procedures. The task field is missing (a timer) to make it easier to keep track of time. Although there is a clock on your computer, tablet and phone. But it is easy to forget how to keep track of it. The material was clear, the most important points were highlighted with repetition, the instructions by example were nicely executed.

The topics were taught in a fun and interesting way, and the mid-term exams were a good way to make sure that you understood the main points of the subject. I warmly recommend!

A good, comprehensive and varied course.

The training was good, varied and interesting. I also really liked the fact that you could read about the same subject immediately afterwards. I thought that this way I could learn something interesting. Thank you very much.

Your training was delivered in our workplace as a combination of a 16-hour online course and 4 hours of on-site training. This was a very good and effective combo! The face-to-face training was of a very high quality and the online course had a lot of content, both in text format and as good video content. I am very satisfied with the training.

  • First Aid Refresher course is only suitable for you if you have a valid first aid certificate from a previous Basic First Aid course or equivalent first aid training.
  • The purpose of the Refresher course is to build on previously acquired first aid competence without having to complete the course in its entirety. The refresher course is quicker to complete than the Basic First Aid online course itself. A previously acquired qualification can only be extended once through the First Aid Refresher course. 
  • If you do not have a valid qualification for the Basic First Aid course, please complete the Basic First Aid course first online.

Yes, our online courses meet all official requirements and include, among other things, practical training, more extensive content than usual, and are sufficiently long in duration.

The online first aid courses of Uskalla Auttaa Oy differ from the general practice, where online courses may be shortened versions, and therefore may not meet all the requirements of the authorities.

Why are online courses generally shortened versions?

In the field of first aid training, the construction of online courses has often been based on slides and PowerPoint presentations. This makes it relatively inexpensive to build an online course, without the cost of building new content and video production.

The online courses of Uskalla Auttaa Oy are built in the opposite way and exceptionally from the point of view of the student and the requirements of the authorities. We have put significant effort into building the online courses to meet all regulatory requirements and to make them more interesting for the student/course participant.

Course completion time may vary depending on the pace of the student, but the average planned duration is 4 lessons (4 x 45min). Below you can see the course modules.

FINAL EXAM

In an online course, you study independently at your own pace. The content is covered in a broader way than in face-to-face training, practical exercises are carried out independently according to the instructions and learning is verified by means of various intermediate questions and a final exam.

The online course will take place on our course platform at www.uskallaauttaa.fi/omat-kurssini. You can start the online course immediately after ordering with your personal login credentials. The progression through the online course is logical and simple. The online course is structured in lessons consisting of videos, texts, smaller tests during the course and different exercises according to the level of the course. The online course ends with a final exam.

The right to participate to the online course is valid for two (2) years from the date of subscription. The online course must be completed in full within 180 days of getting started.

After two years, all user data related to the completion of the course will be automatically deleted from the course platform (including the first aid certificate) to allow the course to be completed again.

All users' first aid course completions will be entered into a separate database, as shown below, so that, if necessary, the validity of first aid qualifications can be verified when the user's online course details are deleted:

  • First name
  • Surname
  • Email
  • Completed online course
  • Date of completion

Our first aid certificates are accepted as they are, both for workplaces and public entities. The first aid certificate is valid for three (3) years from the date you completed the course. After completing the online course, you can also download the first aid certificate from the course page. You will never have to wait for the certificate to arrive by mail.

In the official first aid certificates issued by Uskalla Auttaa Oy, the duration of the training, the content of the training, and the responsible person acting as the course instructor are always specified. All our first aid course instructors and responsible individuals for online courses are healthcare professionals who meet the requirements set by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health for first aid trainers.

Does your workplace still require a first aid card in addition to a first aid certificate?
We can always provide you with a first aid card for each of our courses. If you request it, we will send it to you by post immediately after the course at no extra cost.

Yes you can. We accept first aid training given by different operators even if the name of the first aid course does not correspond to the current Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines (Basic First Aid Course). The names of the corresponding first aid courses at different training organisations may vary, as not all of them have yet changed the names of their first aid courses to reflect the new Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines. This is subject to our being able to verify the duration and content of the previous first aid course. The nominal duration of the course should be at least 16 hours.

We check the content and duration of every first aid course previously completed. At the beginning of the course, you will be able to download an image/ file of your previous training. We check each one manually. 

Please note that you will not pass the course if you do not provide an acceptable certificate from a previously completed first aid course. If you cannot find a previous certificate and you have completed a first aid course trained by us, please contact our customer service.
