Instructor in first aid

In the trainer course we prepare you intensively and in-depth for your work as a first aid trainer. We take a fundamental look at the topic of first aid and question many traditional approaches. In addition to the basic medical service training, you will learn the basics of methodology and didactics and ultimately how to design seminars that are suitable for adults.


This course imparts the necessary specialist knowledge to acquire a trainer qualification. The course is designed to be modular. Participants with existing medical qualifications such as paramedics, health and nursing assistants or medical students etc. do not need any medical training.

Training people in first aid is a challenge for every lecturer. In addition to imparting emergency medical knowledge, participant-oriented seminar design plays a particularly important role.
