What can you expect?
There will be some theory but the focus will be on practice. We also learn from each other by exchanging practical experiences. There is a maximum of 15 participants in order to learn as much as possible.
We will refresh both the knowledge and skills of the First Aid responder. New techniques will also be covered.
Continuous evaluation is provided. After completion of this training course, you will receive the official First Aid refresher training certificate, recognised by the Federal Public Service Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue (FPS WASO). Your First Aid certificate will remain valid as a result.
