Course materials
You will need to watch 1.5h of video material before the course.
You will receive a pdf with the course topics after the course.
You will have access to my private telegram group, with health and first aid info and tips.

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

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.
