The basic course on first aid trains you to be a first aider. You receive theory and practical exercises. So you know what to do in case of an accident and can administer first aid correctly. After completing the course, you receive a European certificate.

What can you expect?

The 2-day classroom-based course is a mix of theory and practice given by experts recognised by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC). There is a maximum of 8 people in the group, so you can learn as much as possible. There is ongoing evaluation.

You will have access to the digital course and e-learning on the ERC platform. We recommend that you read it to prepare for the course.

After the course, you will receive the official first aid certificate recognised by the Federal Public Service Employment, Labour, and Social Dialogue (FPS WASO) and the European 'Life-saving techniques' certificate recognised by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC).

Catering is included in the price.
