BLS/AED Instructor Course description

To train as many BLS and AED providers as possible across Europe, the ERC has developed a course to teach the techniques of CPR to a wide range of disciplines. Because BLS is fundamental to all resuscitation, the course is suitable also for laypersons.

The course last two days and consists of interactive lectures and demonstrations of the skills required to be a good BLS and AED provider. Those who pass the first day will be eligible to continue to the second day to become ERC BLS/AED instructors. 

Manuals will be provided for the participants one month before the course, which will cover the content for both days.

Candidates who have succesfully completed the course are known as instructor candidates and they receive the ERC BLS/AED Instructor Certificate. They become full instructors after teaching on two ERC approved courses.
