सवाल

Will I get a first aid certificate?

You get the centre's course completion certificate. It shows basic awareness; it is not a medical or professional licence.

Is this course useful for a person who cannot read well?

Yes. Most of the class is demonstration and practice with a trainer, using simple words and pictures.

Which number should I call in an emergency?

Call 108 for an ambulance or 112 for any emergency. Tell the place, what happened and how many people are hurt.

Can first aid replace a doctor?

No. First aid is only the help given until the ambulance or a doctor takes over.
