🇩🇪 Lesen Sie auf Deutsch

We have great news for our customers from Germany and all German-speaking professionals working in Finland. Our SFS 6002 Electrical Safety training course is now also available in German.

For many years, we have worked with companies and professionals from Germany who have used our English-language training courses. Many of them perform electrical work or work in the vicinity of electrical installations in Finland and are required to comply with the Finnish SFS 6002 electrical safety standard. To make learning even more convenient and accessible, we have created a complete German-language version of the course. All written content and illustrations have been translated, and all video materials now include German subtitles.

Most importantly, this is not just a direct translation. The German version was prepared by a German electrical engineer and specialist in electrical engineering, ensuring that the technical terminology and course content accurately reflect industry practice and are easy for professionals to understand.

How to Design an Absence Monitoring System That Actually Tells You Something
A single absence record carries almost no information on its own. The system has to be built around aggregation, comparison, and pattern recognition rather than individual events. The goal isn't to minimize the absence number - that framing leads directly to the wrong outcomes.
How Occupational Health Care Services Monitor Sick Leave in Finland
