Sports injuries
Are you on the sidelines as a coach, trainer or parent? Then your knowledge of sports first aid is essential to act quickly and effectively when a sports injury happens!
In 2022 there were no fewer than 5.1 million sports injuries in the Netherlands alone. That is almost 14,000 injuries a day! Every day, 300 of those people end up in A&E. (source: Veiligheid.nl)
Our sports first aid courses give you exactly the skills you need. Choose our 8-hour basic course, in which you learn CPR and basic sports first aid on the same day. Want to be fully prepared? Then our extended 12-hour course is the best choice: we start with a half day of CPR and AED use, followed by a full day dedicated to treating sports injuries. When you enrol you can immediately see which dates you can take the CPR and sports first aid training. Already have a CPR certificate? Then you can also choose the three-hour workshop. The table below shows exactly what each course covers.
