The Finnish Red Cross organizes an annual supplementary training weekend for volunteer trainers on the second-to-last weekend of January. During the Trainer Days, volunteer trainers can update their trainer certification, enhance their training skills, and network with other volunteer trainers. Trainer certification must be renewed every three years.

The next national Trainer Days will take place on January 17–18, 2026. The program and registration details will be published on this page in October–November.

The Trainer Days are organized by the Finnish Red Cross Headquarters in cooperation with the Sivis Study Centre.
