We had our first aid training yesterday in our general practice. The instructor was very experienced and was able to explain everything to us extremely well so that it can be implemented perfectly in everyday life. The whole company responded extremely quickly to all enquiries and reacted with a very high level of competence and, in these times, refreshing politeness. A full recommendation from us.

Vanessa Scherner

We had the first aid course for our club in the sports hall for 4 hours each of the last two weekends and it was super entertaining. Very interesting and informative. I would recommend this first aid school at any time and we had two very nice and well-prepared instructors.

We booked a first aid course for our entire company through "Erste Hilfe Schule Berlin GmbH" with Mrs Maddocks - including training as a company first aider. Mrs Osinski came to us as a trainer and we couldn't have made a better choice - she is great, extremely nice and very friendly. The entire course was excellently organised: informative, practical and at the same time pleasantly entertaining. Ms Osinski knew perfectly how to find a good mixture of humour and seriousness. Even though there was a lot of laughter, all the important topics and exercises were conveyed clearly, comprehensibly and with the necessary seriousness.our entire team had great fun and felt well prepared afterwards.a clear recommendation - we would book with Erste Hilfe Schule Berlin GmbH again at any time!

Nina Oettel

We had booked the company first aid course at our office. Great, practical training and quick scheduling. Our instructor was super friendly, the course was informative and suitable for all levels of experience, most importantly: not just dry theory but practical application in the foreground. 10/10 recommendation.

I have now attended a course at the First Aid School Berlin for the second time, and this time I brought the whole staff with me. We were all enthusiastic. I found the wealth of real-life case studies particularly appealing. The lecturer was again very competent and knew how to respond to our specific questions.
