Frequently asked questions about the first aid course

The first aid course consists of 9 lessons, which usually adds up to a full day (about 7 to 9 hours). Depending on the course provider, it is offered in one block or split over two days.

For registering for your driving licence, the certificate is valid indefinitely. There is no obligation to refresh it in order to get your licence. From a medical and ethical point of view, however, a refresher every 2 years is recommended to keep your knowledge up to date.
No. The first aid course for the driving licence has to be completed in person, because practical exercises (for example resuscitation or the recovery position) can only be taught and assessed face to face. Online courses are not recognised when you register for your licence.
