Ongoing training
for in-house first aiders
Training first aiders once every two years isn't enough. The only program in Switzerland that ensures your in-house first aiders are truly ready to act year-round: a short session every month, right at your company.
1 session per month · 2 hours per group of 8 · Excluding July and August · At your location
Why a continuing education program?
First aid skills deteriorate rapidly without practice; they are rarely called upon in real-life situations, yet must be applied under stress and as part of a team. The program addresses this reality in the field by maintaining skills over time through regular practice.
Life-saving techniques can be learned, but above all, they must be practiced. Through structured, rigorous, and practical ongoing training, our approach is tailored to the realities of the workplace while remaining directly applicable to everyday life.
Retention of skills without regular practice: from approximately 100% after training to 50%, then 30%.
A FIRST AIDERS-Exclusive Methodology
Inspired by the operational standards of advanced first aid (IAS2) and tailored to the realities of the workplace, the program strengthens emergency response procedures, the structure of first-aid teams, the proper use of equipment, and the effectiveness of interventions.
