    What our participants say

    Zwei Männer knien im Schnee in einem Wald und beschäftigen sich mit einem schwarzbraunen Hund, einer der Männer trägt ein Gewehr auf dem Rücken.
    I have already taken many first aid courses but they were not comparable... and not only because it was aimed at these specific injuries but:
    It was really realistic, at eye level, explained simply and practically, we were allowed to try and do everything and also use new materials every time and thus practice (fully equipped) in these special scenarios.
    ... not just PowerPoint, puppet and theory as usual.

    It is really recommended for everyone!

    Thanks Hans!!!
