Services Overview

What educational resources does Netcare 911 offer?

Netcare Education was founded over three decades ago to provide education and learning opportunities for aspiring emergency medical care practitioners and nursing professionals who want to serve our communities and country through two faculties.

Faculty of Emergency and Critical Care (FECC)

We operate one of the largest private pre-hospital healthcare training centres in Africa, providing world class courses and resources.

Our Faculty of Emergency and Critical Care (FECC) is headed by a dynamic team of academics. The FECC leads the way in paramedic and advanced life support education, combining theoretical teaching and cutting edge technology with practical training.

Faculty of Nursing and Ancillary Healthcare
(FNAH)

Our Faculty of Nursing and Ancillary Healthcare (FNAH) is dedicated to developing the clinical knowledge and practical skills of nursing and other healthcare professionals. By combining theory with experiential learning, our graduates will be able to offer the best evidence based care to their patients.

First aid
safety guides

Our sought after safety guides offer highly visual, easy to grasp instructions on how to deal with common medical emergencies at or away from home, so you’re not left feeling helpless. While we aim to empower you, we will always be there as a backup to provide professional assistance where needed.
