Learn how to provide proper first aid thanks to an emergency aid course

Of course, we don't always assume that we will find ourselves in an emergency or accident situation. Nevertheless, we should be prepared for all eventualities and know which life-saving measures are appropriate and when. A course that teaches first aid skills and confidence is the emergency aid course. This course is also a prerequisite for registering for the theoretical driving test and covers all the important topics relating to providing assistance in emergency situations in and out of traffic. Due to high demand, emergency assistance courses are offered by numerous schools, clubs and institutions, last around 10 hours in total and cost around CHF 100. Some schools also offer so-called "refresher courses", which are aimed at people who have already completed the actual emergency aid course and would like to refresh their knowledge.

Participants in emergency aid courses learn how to act correctly in traffic accidents or other emergency situations and how to provide appropriate life-saving first aid. This includes, for example, internalizing the international ABCD of lifesaving, treating any respiratory arrest, stopping bleeding in the event of major blood loss, positioning the injured and unconscious and dealing with shock patients for the first time.
