Approximately 15 courses are expected to take place in one student year. The course is divided into a theoretical and practical part, together lasting four hours. The theoretical part is carried out by a qualified physician, specialized in pre-hospital medical care. The lecture program is based on current standards; PowerPoint slides ensure quality and comparison of different courses, disregarding the instructor. The instructors take part in the practical part of the lectures. The participants are divided into 4 basic groups, and attend the following lectures: CPR with the use of automated external defibrillator (AED), a variety of different grips, positions of the injured, immobilization and caretaking of larger wounds. After the demonstration, instructors encourage participants to try the techniques for themselves under their guiance and  also point out possible mistakes. The instructors also answer any question the participants might have; that is why a doctor is also present at the practical part of lectures.
