Irish EMT Up-skill to UK AAP

Book your place on the UK Ambulance Practitioner (AAP) course today.

The Situation in Ireland

There has long been a high level of demand for publicly accessible paramedic training in Ireland. No privately owned PHECC recognised training institute has yet been in a position to provide paramedic level training and no publicly funded PHECC recognised training institute is currently offering this level of training to members of the public.

The demand is high among responders and practitioners to further their education and increase the level of their qualification. Demand is also high amongst the private ambulance service providers for the paramedics .

ESTI in conjunction with NEMC (National Emergency Medical Control) now offer options of further learning at higher levels which will lead to actual frontline employment opportunities.

ESTI, in partnership with NEMC an Irish owned training site for Qualsafe (a UK regulatory and awarding body for PreHospital awards in the UK and is one of the largest Ofqual recognised Awarding Organisations in the UK), has commenced enrolment on the most complete and publicly accessible EMT to AAP programme to be available in Ireland to date!
