Training information
The first aid training course offered by 112BHV is suitable for anyone who wants to learn to perform first aid in a safe and effective way. The student first completes the official e-learning module of the Red Cross so they are well prepared for the practical session that follows. During the e-learning module, the student learns to assess the condition of the victim and various wounds and injuries. This includes recognising unconsciousness, a stroke, burns, broken bones and vertebral injuries.
