An course in lifesaving first aid gives the participants basic knowledge and skills for providing first aid in emergency situations. The aim of the course is to equip participants with practical skills needed when accidents or medical emergencies occur, where the person in need is reliant on the helper's assistance. In such situations, it is crucial to act quickly and correctly, as the right actions may even save the person's life.

The course covers various emergency scenarios, what a person may look like or how they behave in an emergency, and teaches how to act as a helper in these situations.

On the Lifesaving First Aid course we focus on lifesaving maneuvers. The Lifesaving First Aid courses are of varying lengths. The content depends on the extent of the course. The shortest emergency first aid course is a 4 h Lifesaving First Aid course and covers the following situations: unconsciousness, CPR, stopping bleeding and circulatory shock, as well as choking. Additionally, as a bonus, there is a traffic accident simulation with our VR glasses and administering an adrenaline auto-injector during an anaphylactic reaction. The 6 h Lifesaving First Aid course also includes various wounds or medical episodes. The 8 h Lifesaving First Aid course includes all of the above mentioned topics.

The first aid course can be completed entirely as an on-site course, entirely as an online course, entirely as a webinar, or as a hybrid course combining an online or remote course and an on-site course. During the on-site session, everyone gets to practice with, among other things, a CPR simulator, VR glasses, a defibrillator, and a choking simulation vest.

The Lifesaving First Aid course is designed for everyone and also serves as a refresher course. It provides confidence to act in critical situations.
