Volunteer firefighters in Moldova can benefit from free category C driver training
Volunteer firefighters across the Republic of Moldova now have an opportunity to attend free training courses to obtain a Category C driver’s licence.
This initiative, provided as part of the ‘EU4Moldova Resilience – Secure State, Resilient Communities’ project, will enable more volunteer responders to drive emergency vehicles, enhancing their ability to respond promptly in critical situations.
The training course is open both to active volunteer firefighters and to individuals interested in joining the service. Eligible candidates must be between 21 and 60 years old, hold a Category B driver’s licence, be actively involved in their communities, and be willing to work in collaboration with local emergency response teams.
The courses will be held between May and September 2025 in 26 training centres located across the country to ensure easy access for participants from all regions. Each locality managing territorial or volunteer fire stations may nominate up to seven individuals to take part in the programme.
The ‘EU4Moldova Resilience – Secure State, Resilient Communities’ project is funded by the European Union and implemented by Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova. The programme aims to strengthen local volunteer firefighter networks and build a more effective civil protection system.
Thanks to the project, by November 2025, ten new volunteer fire and rescue stations will be built, ten existing stations will be renovated, and 35 intervention units will be equipped with modern gear and specialised vehicles, including advanced communication systems. The total budget allocated for these actions amounts to nearly 44 million Moldovan lei (more than €2.2 million), provided through funding from the European Union.
