You will need to watch 1.5h of video material before the course.
You will receive a pdf with the course material after the course.

During the course I use some improvised materials:
1. to give you the best hands on experience
2. so you know how to improvise when you don’t have the materials with you

-within 7 days of the course: pay half of the course price
-within 24h pay the full price.

Famke: Gael’s First Aid course was very pleasant to follow. He offered the information with passion, patience and from a holistic perspective. There was a good balance between theory and practice, and valuable advice was given on what to include in a good First Aid Kit.
