Target group ( Candidate) First Aid Instructors, Company Nurses, Prevention Advisors, Managers who give toolbox meetings/trainings on First Aid Context Train the Trainer means that subject specialists are trained as trainers/instructors, in order to train others in their field of expertise.
According to this Train the Trainer concept, the subject matter expert learns the didactics to transfer his knowledge and skills professionally in trainings. Day 1 The trainees follow a full course ‘Basic Life Support (BLS)’and afterwards a course ‘Paediatric Basic Life Support (PBLS)’ of 3 hours each.
Afterwards, the student receives a certificate BLS* and PBLS** recognized by the European & Belgian Resuscitation Council.
This day will be concluded with a technical training of 2 hours in which the skills are taught to maintain, clean and repair the resuscitation equipment.
The integration of software*** and electronics during these courses will also be covered during this technical training.
Also, the use of the choking kit and get maintenance of it is provided. Day 2 During this 8-hour course, trainees will receive the Basic Instructor Course (BIC) training.
This course is recognized by the ERC & BRC.
Trainees will learn the basics of how to form adults in Paediatric & Basic Life Support.
This is a didactic training that instructors need to conduct training afterwards.
They learn the necessary skills and train them throughout the day through role plays supervised by 2 instructors.
An important part is learning feedback and evaluation techniques needed to conduct tests and/or exams if official certificates need to be provided after taking a BLS or PBLS course. Day 3 (morning) In Day 3 we will go into didactic aspects of first aid.
Thus, we look at the approach to certain pathologies, how priorities arise in bleeding, in damage to the skin as well as possible infections after injuries and how to treat this according to the latest guidelines.
Part of this is how the (candidate) instructors can work with role plays throughout a first aid course.
A very instructive and didactic learning format is the painting of wounds and how to create and supervise scenario training.
During the make-up section, students learn the contents of a didactic make-up case and how to make bread dough which is needed during scenario training. Day 3 (afternoon) During 4 hours the trainees get assignments to work out a complete scenario and afterwards give this assignment as a fictitious course for the whole group.
In this assignment the preparation of the theme that will be chosen, the composition of didactic tools, writing and applying a scenario will have to be done.
Afterwards there will be a group discussion per case in which the students can evaluate and adjust each other.
