The comprehensive training program covers both theoretical principles and practical knowledge relating to the planning, implementation, and monitoring of anesthesia. There is a particular focus on practical exercises, case studies, and video analysis, which teach safety in handling, documentation, and emergency situations. The combination of online lessons and classroom sessions enables intensive learning, direct exchange, and targeted training of practical skills.

With over 100 teaching units, the additional qualification has been submitted for official recognition by the AG TFA. Upon successful completion, participants receive a certificate and thus an additional qualification that supports both personal development and the quality of patient care in practice in the long term.
