Length of time

3 years

Train to full capacity under protected conditions.

Emergency paramedics work independently as part of a team to provide emergency medical care and transport patients in ambulances. They are able to monitor vital functions, determine the extent of the illness or injury and carry out measures to ensure vital functions. They are also allowed to carry out selected invasive measures independently (e.g. injecting medication, defibrillating). If their measures are not sufficient, they assist the emergency doctor. The area of activity as an emergency paramedic relates to both the rescue service and the central emergency room in the hospital.

The aim of the vocational training is to enable the independent execution of:

Determining and recording the situation at the site and immediately initiating the necessary measures to avert danger,
Assessment of the health status of sick and injured persons, especially in the detection of vital and psychological threats,
Implementation of medical first aid measures,
Making the patient fit for transport and monitoring him/her during transport,
interdisciplinary teamwork.

Training at the academy

The training concept of the 3 learning locations

We are convinced that professionals who want to work in the healthcare sector must have cross-functional and cross-sector thinking, coupled with a professional attitude. The academy's didactic concept, learning at three learning locations, interprofessional teaching and learning arrangements and interaction with new technologies are the academy's future-oriented paths, together with its practice partners from the healthcare sector.

Learning Place THEORY – Professional skills and competencies build on knowledge

Lectures and case-based seminars convey the technical fundamentals and contexts of the respective profession. Interprofessional events broaden your own professional perspective and understanding of other professional groups in the healthcare sector.
Independent and individual learning is made possible, among other things, through the use of new media.

Learning location TRAINING & TRANSFER (LTT) – Practice and training in a protected space

In the Training & Transfer learning area, participants should train and consolidate skills and abilities in a setting that is as authentic as possible. Unlike in real working life, mistakes do not have any serious consequences, but rather play an important role in the learning process. Learning with and from one another also plays an important role in this area.
The teachers take on the role of coaches in this area. The individual prior knowledge and experience of the participants are actively integrated and the content is tailored accordingly. The learning process is supported and accompanied by intensive reflection on learning progress.

Learning Place PRAXIS – Learning under Real Conditions

Professional practice completes the training process with specific situations and tasks. Depending on the level of training, there are targeted practical phases in which the participants can test and further develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes they have learned.
The training participants are expertly guided and accompanied by staff in the practice facilities and teachers at the academy.
Collected experiences and events serve as a starting point for the further professional learning process in the theory and LTT learning areas and are taken up in the courses and appropriately taken into account.
The practical learning takes place in the training rescue stations of the respective training providers as well as in hospitals and clinics in the state of Brandenburg.
