​

This course gives participants knowledge and confidence to intervene in case of a cardiac arrest, acute injury or respiratory arrest. The course contains both a theoretical and a practical part where the participants get to perform CPR on a manikin and learn how to use a defibrillator.

 

In addition to CPR, participants also gain important knowledge in first aid. This means knowing how to handle a situation where someone suffers from
breathing difficulties, uncontrolled bleeding, stroke, heart attack, allergic reaction, diabetes, neck and back injuries or burn-injury.

 

The course follows the requirements of the Swedish Work Environment Authority and after completing the course, all participants receive a certificate showing that the objectives have been achieved. The course is instructed by a trained firefighter and CPR-instructor with many years of operational work as well as experience teaching CPR and first aid.
