Every year, 17.000 people in the Netherlands get a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital. That is about 35 people each day. Starting Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) within 6 minutes gives these people the greatest chance of survival. The more people are able to give CPR, the more people will survive.

By following this CPR course, you will learn:

• How to recognise a cardiac arrest, and how to act;

• How to give CPR: chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth ventilation;

• How to use an Automatic Electronic Defibrillator (AED);

• What to do when someone is unconscious but does not have a cardiac arrest;

• What to do in case of asphyxiation (choking).

By completing this course, you will get an official CPR certificate by the Dutch Resuscitation Council (Nederlandse Reanimatie Raad), part of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC). Please note that when you register, we will need your full name and date of birth for the certificates.

The course will be given by certified CPR instructors. During the course, all steps of the CPR protocol will be taught in an interactive manner. The course will start with a demonstration, after which the participants will train in small groups on a resuscitation doll.

One complete CPR course will take 3 hours. There are multiple possible course moments. During registration, please give your order of preference for which course moment suits you best. We will try our best to schedule you on that moment!

The deadline for registering is November 11th!

This course will cost 10 euro. Hope to see you there!
