Methodology for the non-SRC-certified BLS-AED training
The non-SRC-certified BLS-AED training is built around a highly practical teaching approach: approximately 75% of the time is devoted to exercises on training manikins and AEDs. Following a short theoretical section, participants practise in small groups, receiving immediate feedback on the quality of their compressions and ventilation.
The scenarios are adapted to real-world settings: offices, workshops, retail outlets, schools and more. The instructor adjusts the level and examples to the sector, so that everyone leaves with practical responses that can be directly applied in their professional environment.
