“Syringe license” and supplementary modules

The aim of the course is to get an overview of the most important and common examination methods and the various injection options and to be able to apply them in practice. The legal principles and fundamentals of pharmacology are also discussed (partly as an eLearning module) and what to do in an emergency.

Target groups

This examination and injection course is aimed at medical professionals (emergency services, medical, dental and veterinary staff, nursing homes, hospitals) as well as alternative practitioners (after passing the examination and being licensed).

Structure of the courses

Both the injection course and the examination course each consist of an e-learning area and up to five modules in face-to-face teaching.

Before attending the modules, the respective eLearning part must be completed with the corresponding verification questions, otherwise admission to the face-to-face training is not possible.

The modules do not have to be attended in any particular order - it is possible to attend just individual modules.

For the “syringe license” certificate, modules 1-4 of the injection course must be attended.
