Why us

First aid is best learned from people who provide it

Instructor demonstrating chest compressions for workplace first aiders

Instructors from the field

Our trainers work in event medical services at weekends – in stadiums, at festivals, on building sites. They don’t tell you what’s in the textbook, but what happened on their last shift.

Chest compressions on a training manikin in a first aid course

Practise until it sticks

Everyone does the compressions themselves, puts someone in the recovery position themselves and operates the defibrillator themselves. Small groups of 10 to 20 participants leave enough time for this.

Practising breathing checks on a manikin during in-house training

Recognised and medically supervised

Authorised training provider 8.2001: your certificate is valid with the driving licence authority and the statutory accident insurer. The training is under the medical supervision of Dr. Daniel Kehr.

Frequently asked questions about the first aid course

Which first aid course do I need for my driving licence?

The same course with 9 teaching units applies to all driving licence classes. You attend it once and submit the certificate with your driving licence application.

Do I get the certificate straight away?

Yes. If you attended and took part in the whole course, you take the certificate home with you straight away.

How much does a first aid course in Berlin cost?

The driving licence course costs from €50 with us. For workplace first aiders, the statutory accident insurer (Berufsgenossenschaft or Unfallkasse) usually covers the costs. Fire safety assistant training costs from €75.

Where do the courses take place?

At two fixed locations: in the first aid academy Berlin Mitte (Oberwallstraße 7, 10117 Berlin, 5th floor, one minute from Hausvogteiplatz U-Bahn station) and regularly on Saturdays at Friedrichshagen Town Hall (Bölschestraße 87, 12587 Berlin). Further locations are listed in the online booking. For groups of 12 or more we also come to you.

How long does the course last?

The basic course comprises 9 teaching units of 45 minutes each. In Berlin Mitte it runs from 09:00 to 17:30, at Friedrichshagen Town Hall on Saturdays from 09:00 to 16:00 – in each case with breaks.

How do I register?

Choose your preferred date in the list of dates and click “Book”. Registration is handled through our course portal and takes about two minutes. You receive a confirmation by e-mail straight away.

Is the course valid for the driving licence and the workplace at the same time?

Yes. Our basic first aid course is the same course for new drivers and for workplace first aiders. You receive a certificate that is recognised by the driving licence authority and the statutory accident insurer.

What do I need to bring?

A valid photo ID, something to drink and a snack. Comfortable clothing is practical because we practise a lot on the floor.

How long is the certificate valid?

There is no statutory expiry period for the driving licence application. Workplace first aiders must attend a refresher training at least every two years.

Can I rebook or cancel free of charge?

You can cancel free of charge up to 7 days before the course and rebook up to 3 days before. In case of illness with a medical certificate, we also rebook free of charge at short notice. You can cancel directly in the course portal.

From what age can I take part?

There is no statutory age limit. For the driving licence, we recommend taking part from about 14 years of age so that the exercises can be done physically without difficulty.

Is the course also held in English?

Our open courses are held in German. For groups and companies we offer in-house training in English – get in touch.

How many first aiders does my business need?

With 2 to 20 employees present, at least one. With more than 20 employees, 5% in administration and retail, 10% in all other businesses. Our calculator on this page shows you the number immediately.

How does billing via the Berufsgenossenschaft work?

You bring the completed billing form from your accident insurer or tell us your Berufsgenossenschaft and membership number. We bill the course fee directly to the insurer – you do not have to pay anything up front.

Do you offer first aid for nurseries and schools?

Yes. First aid training in educational and childcare facilities for children comprises 9 teaching units and focuses in particular on emergencies involving children. For such facilities, the Unfallkasse usually covers the costs.

Are there shorter trainings as well?

Yes. The first aid crash course with 4 teaching units is a practical training for teams, for example in field service. It does not replace the training as a workplace first aider, but it refreshes the most important skills.

Are your courses recognised?

Yes. We are an authorised training provider for first aid training and refresher training (identification number 8.2001). Our certificates are recognised by driving licence authorities and accident insurers.
