To ensure easy transportation to training courses, all training models are nested inside a lightweight backpack weighing only 9 kilos.
Affordable
The kit is offered on a not-for-profit basis to low-resource settings. It has been designed for maximum affordability without compromising quality.
Durable
Used for hands on skills training, simulations, and practical demonstrations, the kit components are designed to withstand rigorous use of hundreds of training cycles.
Enables low-dose, high-frequency training
The combination of a comprehensive kit covering all skills, the low price point and high durability enables a paradigm shift; the training kits can now be distributed in large numbers and be left at the individual hospitals for important low-dose, high-frequency refresher trainings.

25×25
Emergency Care Saves Lives
Access to Basic Emergency Care training for nurses and midwives from 25 countries by the end of 2025
Proud partner of WHO’s 25×25 Campaign
Launched in 2018, the WHO’s 5-day Basic Emergency Care (BEC) course has demonstrated a significant impact in reducing deaths from critical emergency conditions. To scale this life-saving program more cost-effectively and support the WHO’s 25×25 campaign – aiming to introduce BEC to 25 countries by 2025 – Laerdal has partnered with the WHO to address key challenges in expanding the course.
Key enhancements include the development of e-learning modules, which reduce in-person training time from 5 days to just 2, and the creation of the Emergency Care Learning Lab that is so affordable that it can be left in the workplace and support continuous, on-site training.

App for objective CPR feedback
The Little Anne and Little Baby manikins connect with the complementary QCPR app, providing real-time performance feedback and improvement tips on the quality of compressions and ventilations provided, in accordance with the latest resuscitation guidelines.
Frequently asked questions
Browse our frequently asked questions here. If your question is not covered, please contact our team for assistance.
Which of the skills in the Basic Emergency Care program can I train with this kit?
The Emergency Care Learning Lab supports the skills to be trained in the BEC course, where practicing on a fellow student is not a preferred alternative. See the overview below for a detailed breakdown of the skills suggested to be taught with the Emergency Care Learning Lab vs on a fellow student.
What do I need in addition to the Emergency Care Learning Lab to conduct a Basic Emergency Care training?
How many training courses can an Emergency Care Learning Lab last for?
The products have been designed thoughtfully to be long-lasting and require minimum to no consumables. The only consumables needed is a Foley catheter that should be available locally (replacement tube for the IV pads).
The Needle Decompression Trainer and IV module are made of a special material with self-healing features and can last for over 1000 insertions. The durability of these items will be even longer if a smaller needle is used for the training (1.1 mm instead of 1.7mm).
What testing has been done to ensure the Emergency Care Learning Lab supports the Basic Emergency Care course?
The kit has been designed with input from the World Health Organization, ICRC, MSF, the African and Asian Society of Emergency Medicine, and BEC master trainers in Nepal, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Rwanda, Uganda and South Africa. It has been rigorously field tested in more than 20 training courses for Basic Emergency Care. It has also been tested in pilot tests of WHO’s Community First Aid Response Course and the Basic Critical Care course, and found to be highly effective training tools also for these courses.
How many kits would I need for my training?
For sustainable impact, we recommend a model where the kit is available for ongoing training in the individual hospitals implementing Basic Emergency Care training. For an initial class of BEC training, the recommended ratio would be a minimum of 2 kits for 20 learners.
