From 20 Apr 18:00 to 20 Apr 22:00
The First Aid course is back!
The EHBBO (Eerste Hulp bij Bergsport Ongevallen, or First Aid in English), is a course that teaches you life-saving skills. You will learn, through both theory and practice, how to act in different situations where there is a victim who needs help. Whoever you are, the skills and knowledge gained by this course are useful to have, and you never know when they might come in handy.
This course consists of 4 evenings and is intended for those who don't current have a First Aid certificate. It will be given by a professional EHBO instructor. During these evenings, you will mostly focus on general first aid rather than climbing or mountaineering related accidents. The first 3 evenings will consist of gaining practical skills and theoretical knowledge and the last evening will have a recap and an exam. The course is normally given in Dutch, so if you speak English then please let us know and we will try to make this possible with the instructor.
The mountaineering aspect is something you will focus on more during EHBBO refresher courses, which happen approximately every year. To keep your EHBO license, it is required to do the refresher yearly, which you need to do if you are a climbing instructor, for instance.
The course will take place on Monday 20th April, Tuesday 28th April, Thursday 30th April and Monday 4th May in the evening between 18:00-22:00. Costs for members who are not an instructor (and will not become an instructor within a year) will be € 120. You can register via this agenda item or by sending an email to the OC committee .
Does this sound interesting but are you having doubts because you are not an instructor and this sounds like a big commitment in terms of responsibility and finance, then don't worry. You can email the OC committee if you want to have a discussion about this or if you need any advice.
The absolute maximum capacity is 15. If there are more people interested than the capacity allows, the priority goes to ESAC instructors. If there is a lot of interest, the next EHBO can be organised in less than a year from now to facilitate the demand. So if you get de-prioritised and rejected now, next time you will get priority.
