COURSE DETAILS

24 units, one classroom, central Berlin

What to expect on the day:

✓ 24 UE (Unterrichtseinheiten) — Course units covering the full legally required first aid syllabus, classroom-based.

✓ Central location — Karl-Heinrich-Ulrichs-Straße 6, 10787 Berlin — a short walk from U-Bahn Wittenbergplatz (U1/U2/U3).

✓ Small groups — Maximum 12 participants per group, so there's time for hands-on practice.

✓ Instructors from active rescue services — You learn from people who currently work in emergency response, not only in a classroom.

COURSE LANGUAGE

In German with English-speaking support

We'd rather be upfront than oversell it:

✓ The course runs in German — Instruction and materials are in German, like every Erste Hilfe course in Berlin — we don't offer an English-language course.

✓ We support you in English — Our team advises you in English (also German, Russian, Turkish, Arabic) before you book, helps with enrolment, and is reachable during the course.

✓ Basic German is usually enough — The course is practical and hands-on, so everyday German is normally sufficient. Not sure about your level? Contact us and we'll assess it together before you commit.

If your German is still developing, that's normal — the course is hands-on and practical, and our English-speaking team is there if you need clarification.
