Public Release of the New ERCA Training Syllabus


We would like to raise everybody’s awareness to the public release of the revised version (July 2024) of the ERCA training syllabus. The full document is now publicly available:

ERCA-Members can download the syllabus directly from here (after your click you will be asked to log on).

NON-ERCA-Members are welcome to order the ERCA Training Syllabus in a PDF format (sent via email) free of cost.


Please find the summary of the major changes below:
  • a) It is to say that for the most part of the document the contents and requirements remain the same.
  • b) The course schedule for “Rescuer” courses was modularised. We now differentiate generic content (core modules), which is relevant for training purposes in general, and the technical content. In 2025, ERCA-certified training bodies will be able to decide for themselves which qualifications they teach. From January 1, 2026, the qualifications "Generic Rescuer" and "Site-Specific Rescuer" will be replaced by the four new modules "Rescuer Core Module", "Rescuer for Active Rescue", "Rescuer for Passive Rescue" and "Rescuer for Specific Rescue". Previously acquired qualifications remain valid. For candidates for the trainer qualification, the syllabus specifies which rescue modules must be completed as an entry requirement.
Again, our thanks go to all volunteer experts and staff members who spent hours and hours to discuss the continuous evolution and for all the efforts put in, to complete a precise wording for the document.
