Basic First Aid Knowledge (NSZI, OKFŐ)

NSZI and OKFŐ accredited training opportunity with practical first aid knowledge

Our training is also available as an accredited continuing education opportunity for professionals working in social services, child welfare, child protection, early childhood care, elderly care, and nursing fields.

The aim of the training is that participants with credit requirements not only earn continuing education points, but also gain truly usable, practical first aid knowledge. The curriculum is easy to understand, based on real-life situations, and can be adapted to the age, condition, and institutional environment of the given care group.

We recommend the training for those who work with children, young children, elderly people, people with disabilities, or other vulnerable care groups in their profession.

Especially recommended for:

• nursery assistants,
• early childhood educators,
• staff of family daycare centers,
• child welfare and child protection workers,
• foster care network staff,
• institutions caring for people with disabilities,
• nursing homes for the elderly,
• day care institutions,
• home care workers,
• professionals in telecare systems,
• workers in psychiatric and addiction care,
• social caregivers, nurses,
• therapeutic staff,
• institution managers,
• any professional responsible for the safety of care recipients.

Professionals in social and caregiving fields may encounter people of very different ages and conditions. Different thinking is required for an infant, a toddler, a school-age child, a teenager, an adult client, a person with disabilities, or an elderly person.

Therefore, one of the key strengths of our training is that we process the main first aid situations adapted to age group and care environment.

In nurseries, family daycare settings, and early childhood care, it is especially important that staff can respond according to the characteristics of the 0–3 age group.

In this age group, key areas include:

• recognizing choking and airway obstruction,
• airway foreign body management in infants and young children,
• recognition of febrile seizures and convulsions,
• unconsciousness and breathing assessment,
• basic infant and child resuscitation,
• recognition of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis (with EpiPen training),
• first aid for burns, scalds, falls, and head injuries.

During the training, nursery staff do not receive general adult-oriented first aid, but an approach that takes into account the age-specific characteristics, vulnerability, and institutional environment of young children.

For professionals working with children and young people, it is important that participants recognize urgent conditions in childhood and know when to call for immediate help.

The training covers, among others:

• first aid for childhood injuries,
• recognition of unconsciousness,
• recovery position,
• basic child resuscitation,
• choking situations,
• seizures,
• allergic reactions,
• treatment of injuries, bleeding, and burns.

For individuals with disabilities or communication impairments, observation, recognition of condition changes, and safe assistance are especially important.

The training focuses on how to recognize illness even when the person cannot clearly express symptoms, and how to safely provide help in case of limited mobility, confusion, seizures, choking, or injury.

In nursing homes, day care, home care, and other caregiving settings, sudden illness, falls, confusion, fainting, circulatory problems, choking, or resuscitation situations may frequently occur.

The training prepares elderly care workers for, among others:

• first aid for falls and head injuries,
• treatment of bleeding and injuries,
• recognition of choking and airway obstruction,
• management of unconsciousness,
• recovery position,
• basic resuscitation and AED use,
• management of seizures, fainting, confusion, and sudden illness,
• and when to call emergency services immediately.

Accidents and illnesses in institutions often happen unexpectedly. A child, elderly person, or care recipient may choke, fall, get injured, have an allergic reaction, experience a seizure, or lose consciousness. In elderly or social care settings, sudden illness, fainting, circulatory problems, falls, injuries, or confusion are also common.

Most institutional staff want to help, but in emergencies, uncertainty is often the biggest obstacle. What should be checked first? When should an ambulance be called? Is it safe to move the injured person? What should be done in case of unconsciousness? How is an AED used? What should be done in case of choking or allergic reaction? Most people do not fail to help because they do not want to, but because they are afraid of making a mistake. However, the biggest mistake is doing nothing. Our course aims to turn this uncertainty into confident, practical knowledge.

Our training provides clear, practical answers to these questions.

The curriculum is based on the most common accidents, illnesses, and life-threatening conditions in institutional environments. The goal is not to turn participants into healthcare professionals, but to help them recognize danger, call for help, and take the first important steps.

Main topics:

Participants learn how to safely approach a person in distress, how to check responsiveness, breathing, general condition, and how to recognize situations requiring immediate intervention.

This includes:

• scene safety,
• checking responsiveness,
• breathing assessment,
• recognition of serious conditions,
• preparing emergency calls,
• involving colleagues at the scene.

In an institution, it is not only important that someone calls for help, but also that the operation of the site remains organized. The training covers what information must be given to emergency dispatch, how to involve colleagues, who should stay with the victim, who should go to meet the ambulance, and how to reduce panic in the environment.

Managing an unconscious but breathing person is one of the most important first aid tasks. Participants learn how to recognize unconsciousness, check breathing, when to apply the recovery position, and when immediate resuscitation is required.

A key part of the training is basic life support and the use of a semi-automatic external defibrillator.

Participants learn:

• recognition of cardiac arrest situations,
• importance of chest compressions,
• basic steps of adult resuscitation,
• key differences for children and infants,
• how an AED works,
• electrode placement,
• basic safety principles of use.

Choking can also occur in elderly and care recipients. The training explains how to recognize partial and complete airway obstruction, when to intervene, how to help infants, children, and adults, and what to do if the person becomes unconscious.

Injuries, bleeding

Burn injuries or scalds may also occur in social care settings. The training covers the importance of immediate cooling, common mistakes, and when urgent medical care is necessary.

Burns and scalds may occur in nurseries, kindergartens, schools, kitchens, institutional events, and social care settings. The training covers the importance of immediate cooling, common mistakes, and when urgent medical care is necessary.

Severe allergic reactions are becoming more common. Participants learn to recognize warning signs of anaphylaxis, immediate actions, the importance of calling emergency services, and the basic principles of using an adrenaline auto-injector (EpiPen), with practical training opportunities.

Adults and elderly people may experience seizures, fainting, or confusion. The training covers what to do during a seizure, what not to do, when to call emergency services, and how to keep the patient safe.

For groups of at least 10 participants, the training can also be held at your institution, on-site. For larger groups, please request a custom institutional offer.

This is especially beneficial for institutions because:

• staff do not need to travel,
• the training can be adapted to the institution’s environment,
• multiple staff members can participate at once,
• timing is flexible upon prior agreement,
• the training ends with an official certificate,
• accredited training options can also be provided upon request.

Would you like your institution’s teachers and staff to be prepared to respond to sudden accidents, illness, choking, allergic reactions, unconsciousness, or resuscitation situations?
