Each country, and even each region, has its own unique first aid guidelines, which may differ from what you see in our videos. We occasionally highlight these differences, but we want to emphasize the importance of attending practical first aid courses in your own language and local context.

This is essential to properly learn the skills needed to handle emergencies and to be able to take the necessary exams. Practical first aid training should always be done under the guidance of a certified instructor and with a reputable first aid institution in your area.
