Practical knowledge for the safety of children, young people, elderly people and care recipients
In educational, pedagogical or social institutions, employees take responsibility for the safety of others every day. In nurseries, kindergartens, schools, elderly care homes, day-care services or social care settings, accidents, sudden illness, unconsciousness, choking, allergic reactions or resuscitation situations can occur at any time.
In such cases, the first minutes are critical. The preparedness of staff present at the scene can greatly influence how quickly and how effectively the injured child, young person, elderly person or care recipient receives assistance until professional help arrives.
Our training aims to provide institutional staff not only with theoretical knowledge, but also with practical, usable skills that can be applied confidently in unexpected situations.
Most people do not fail to help because they do not want to, but because they are afraid of making mistakes. However, the biggest mistake is doing nothing. The goal of our course is to transform this uncertainty into confident, practical knowledge.

Why is institutional first aid important?
Accidents and medical emergencies in institutions often occur unexpectedly. A child may choke, fall, injure themselves, have an allergic reaction, suffer a seizure, or become unconscious. In elderly or social care settings, sudden illness, fainting, circulatory problems, falls, injuries, or confusion-related conditions are common.
Most staff want to help, but in emergency situations uncertainty is often the biggest obstacle. What should be checked first? When should an ambulance be called? Should the injured person be moved? What should be done in case of unconsciousness? How is an AED used? What should be done in case of choking or allergic reaction?
Our training provides clear, practical answers to these questions.
What does the training include?
The training content is based on the most common accidents, emergencies 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:
Patient assessment and condition evaluation
Participants learn how to safely approach a person in need, check responsiveness, breathing and general condition, and recognize situations requiring immediate intervention.
This includes:
- scene safety,
- checking responsiveness,
- breathing assessment,
- recognizing serious conditions,
- preparing an emergency call,
- involving colleagues on site.
Emergency call
In an institution, it is not only important that someone calls for help, but also that the environment remains organized. The training covers what information must be communicated to emergency dispatch, how to involve colleagues, who should stay with the patient, who should go to meet the ambulance, and how to reduce panic in the environment.
Unconsciousness and recovery position
The care of 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 in which cases resuscitation should be started immediately.
Resuscitation and automated external defibrillator use
A key part of the training is basic life support and the use of an automated external defibrillator.
Participants will learn:
- recognition of cardiac arrest,
- importance of chest compressions,
- basic steps of adult resuscitation,
- key differences for children and infants,
- operation of an AED,
- electrode placement,
- safe usage principles.
Choking, airway obstruction and foreign body airway obstruction
Choking can occur in children, elderly people 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 and bleeding
Falls, cuts, abrasions, bruises, head injuries and suspected fractures are common in institutions. Participants learn how to provide basic care for injuries, when medical examination is required, and which warning signs indicate that waiting is not an option.
Burns and scalds
Burns and scalds may occur in nurseries, schools, kitchens, institutional events and social care settings. The training covers immediate cooling, common mistakes, and when urgent medical care is necessary.
Allergic reaction and anaphylaxis
Severe allergic reactions are increasingly common in both children and adults. Participants learn to recognize signs of anaphylaxis, immediate actions, the importance of calling emergency services, and the basic principles of using an adrenaline auto-injector (EpiPen), with practical demonstration.
Febrile seizures, convulsions and sudden illness
Febrile seizures in children and other convulsions, fainting or confusion-related conditions may occur in all age groups. The training explains what to do, what not to do, when to call an ambulance, and how to keep the patient safe.
A child-, adult- and elderly-focused approach
Institutional training involves very different age groups and conditions. A different approach is needed for infants, preschool children, teenagers, adults or elderly care recipients.
Therefore, the training emphasizes understanding age differences and mastering universal steps: recognition, calling for help, safety, breathing assessment, first aid, and continuous monitoring.
Accredited training and further education points
Several of our trainings are officially recognized as professional further education, and participants may earn continuing education credits in certain fields.
Our courses are accredited by institutions such as the Slachta Margit National Institute for Social Policy (NSZI), the National Hospital Directorate General (OKFŐ), and the Educational Authority (OH). This means that professionals with credit requirements can not only gain practical first aid knowledge but also fulfill their mandatory continuing education obligations.
For up-to-date information about available accredited courses and credit values, please contact us, as these may vary depending on the course type and professional field.
On-site training with nationwide availability
For groups of at least 10 participants, the training can be delivered on-site at your institution. For larger groups, please request a customized offer.
This is especially beneficial because:
- no travel is required for staff,
- training can be adapted to the institutional environment,
- multiple employees can participate at once,
- timing can be flexibly arranged,
- training ends with an official certificate,
- information about accredited options is also available on request.
