Rescue College

Rescue College prepares future rescue workers, emergency dispatchers, crisis prevention and response specialists, and fire safety experts whose mission is to protect lives, prevent accidents, and safeguard the environment. The programme is highly practical, value-based, and closely connected to the everyday reality of rescue services, providing the skills needed to act decisively and professionally in both daily rescue operations and large-scale emergencies.

The curriculum covers rescue operations, fire safety, crisis management, communication skills, teamwork, and preventive work. Strong emphasis is placed on hands-on training, exercises, and cooperation with the Estonian Rescue Board and other internal security agencies to ensure students are fully prepared for demanding and responsible work.

Studies take place in Tallinn and Väike-Maarja, in close cooperation with the Estonian Rescue Board, the Emergency Response Centre, and several partner universities. Graduates work at the Estonian Rescue Board, the Emergency Response Centre, in local governments, and in private companies, contributing to a safer society and a more resilient environment.

Studies are conducted in Estonian and are open only to Estonian citizens.
