TRAINING COURSES AT THE TARTU SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH
Tartu Health Care College offers and organises training courses for everyone who is interested in improving themselves and acquiring new knowledge!
Many of our trainers either have a long practical experience or are currently working in the healthcare field. This makes it easier for them to identify with the nature of the trainee's work and to enrich their training with real-life examples. As an applied higher education institution, a large and very important part of our training is the practical side, so that participants can practise the skills they need by doing it themselves.
If you or your organisation has an interest in a particular subject area, we can organise the training according to your needs and exactly the way you want it. For more information on the training courses we offer, please see our training calendar! Come and find out more!
