Rettinare® is the online continuing-education offering of Studieninstitut Westfalen-Lippe (StiWL), designed for professionals working in emergency medical services. Its live, instructor-led online sessions provide a flexible way to develop knowledge while meeting requirements for ongoing training in North Rhine-Westphalia. The institute states that all Rettinare® courses can count toward the 30-hour annual professional-development requirement for emergency-services personnel under the state’s RettG NRW; local medical directors are responsible for recognising training content.

The programme includes a broad selection of focused sessions on clinical practice, operational challenges, communication, law and professional wellbeing. Topics range from ECG interpretation, sepsis in children and trauma resuscitation to CBRN hazards, aviation incidents, error culture and self-care. Participants can browse and book individual sessions through the online shop, with courses offered at different times and delivered through the StiWLStudio. A 2026 Rettinare® flat-rate option is also listed. Rettinare® serves emergency-services personnel and related audiences, including staff from municipal services, fire departments, control centres and training roles such as practice instructors.
