Basic First Aid Course

German Red Cross Ravensburg goes English – the number of English speakers in our local community is constantly growing. Therefore the German Red Cross regional office Ravensburg wishes to invite those with limited understanding of German to a First Aid course taught in English language.

This basic First Aid Course consists of 9 units. It is intended for the general public including occupational first aiders (Berufsgenossenschaft or Unfallkasse), applicants for a German driver's license and sports.

Please note that the full amount is due in cash upon arrival. A valid ID is mandatory.
