Teaching team
The teaching team is made up of authorised trainers who are up to date with their continuing training obligations, working on behalf of a partner approved civil protection association.
They hold the required first aid qualifications (PSE) and have operational experience in first aid cover arrangements. Teaching supervision, validation of skills and issuing of the certificate are carried out by this association, in accordance with the national standards in force.
Monitoring and assessment
The course's results indicators are monitored and analysed through the trainee attendance rate, the skills validation rate at the end of the course, and the level of satisfaction gathered via evaluation questionnaires. These elements make it possible to measure teaching effectiveness, the quality of delivery and how well the course matches participants' expectations. The results are consolidated and taken into account as part of a continuous improvement process.
