Customer satisfaction is top notch
In Google's public reviews, our rating is 4.9/5.
Well executed, with clear videos and examples. I can recommend. At first I found it hard to scroll through the videos, I prefer to read the text. Funny and clear illustrations made it meaningful to follow. Marjut Siren
A good and instructive course as a whole. Texts and videos are clear and interest is maintained throughout the course.
Very comprehensive training, clear and the videos were nice to watch and kept the interest well maintained! A couple of the videos also had a joke thrown in which made me laugh out loud, absolutely brilliant! I've been on other EA courses in the past, but this one definitely took the cake and I can't recommend anything else! 🫶🏻
Really clear explanation and even I understood a lot of things. And I learned a lot about helping. Thank you
I completed an online first aid course. The teaching material was excellent and each topic was covered in a very catchy way. The only downside, as with probably other online courses, was how difficult it was to find time out of my own free time to complete the course. Otherwise it was a very worthwhile and beneficial experience for me. So I would highly recommend!
The course was excellent and the video materials were clear and comprehensive. Lots of new information even if you already have some previous experience. Highly recommended. Everything you need and even more related to first aid for children.
A clear and comprehensive basic first aid course (16h, online course). Suitable for Questions and relevant videos. I was able to progress the course according to my own schedule. I recommend, beats face to face training if not better. Thanks to the professional teachers!
It was a good online course. Nothing to complain about. The only thing my teacher said back in primary school was that you don't fall, you fall or fall down. Water drips. So the dripping was a bit of a problem. 😂
The course was really good and a big plus as you can do this at your own pace. The examples and instructions are clear. Thank you😊
The content of the course was well executed and it was interesting to follow. What is nice about the online course is that you can complete it at your own pace. Thanks to the Uskalla Auttaa team!
Very comprehensively explained, explained and a lot of important information. Useful and new information on first aid and of course old and familiar. I recommend.
The combined first aid course was the perfect way for me to complete the course. The online material covered the theory comprehensively, and I was able to learn the most important things and practice the exercises smoothly on the next day. The instructor was also good!
An absolutely fantastic course! The videos were varied, clear and full of good humour, and were much more memorable than a single ea weekend. You can watch the videos at your own pace and repeat as necessary. The intermediate tests and practical exercises helped to structure what was learned. This was really useful, now I dare to help 😉
Due to stomach problems, I couldn't join the work team for the local EA training. I had to come up with a plan to still complete the same course at the same time. Thorough and clear presenters in the videos. Tips on what to do if you're alone and the food gets to you, came in handy as I'm on night shift on my own. The final exam is such that you have to concentrate on the videos if you want to pass the test. It doesn't help to "snooze".
A convenient way to organise a 16-hour course: first 8 hours of self-paced, remote, independent theoretical study, including text, video lectures and test questions. The second day of face-to-face teaching with exercises. You will definitely learn. Teachers with paramedic background, they have a good perspective.
I took an EA online course through them and I can recommend it! The course and content was interesting and very comprehensive!
What a good online course. The teaching material was of high quality and interesting. The learning was meaningful and fun.
Thank you for an excellent course. Sufficient theory and clear practical exercises
Useful skills for first aid situations. The instructor gave good examples.
Good and clear teaching. I took the online course alone, so I didn't get to practice with others, but there were good tips on how to practice without a friend or a dummy.
It was a really good and interesting course as you got to try things out and do things yourself instead of just sitting and listening. Everything was clearly explained!
Very professional and inspiring teacher, it is easier to learn an important and serious subject when the teacher can teach with interest and the examples were real, thank you 🙂

- 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.

- 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.
Course content
Course completion time may vary depending on the pace of the student, but the average planned duration is 8 lessons (8 x 45min). Below you can see the course modules.
Course content
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
- 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.
