Paramedic Training

A Valuable Additional Qualification

Through our paramedic training program, offered in cooperation with the Austrian Red Cross, Carinthia Regional Association, you’ll earn a valuable additional qualification that can be easily integrated into your class schedule and will significantly contribute to your career planning.

After completing the training, you can volunteer as a paramedic with the Red Cross. The scope of duties is broad and varied: from transporting patients to responding to life-and-death emergencies involving illnesses and accidents. Every shift, every call is different – but you’re always working with people.

State-Recognized Vocational Training

By completing the vocational module, you’ll be qualified to work as a paramedic (state-recognized vocational training). This training also lays the foundation for further training to become an emergency medical technician.
Take advantage of this opportunity to help others, gain valuable experience, and broaden your professional horizons at the same time!
