Our experienced instructors deliver English BHV training daily for both groups and individual participants. The training rooms are designed for realistic scenarios such as CPR, fire fighting and evacuation.

During the training you perform hands on exercises, communicate via radio, extinguish fires and support casualties. This prepares you to act confidently during real emergency situations.

Nice training room where things can be realistically simulated. Educational to practise with a role player. Many practical exercises where you learn a lot. A well provided lunch at midday. The atmosphere is relaxed, that is the best way to learn.

Frequently asked questions

What is covered during a BHV course in English in the Netherlands?

A BHV course covers four standard parts. CPR and AED, basic life saving actions, evacuation and firefighting.

How long is my BHV certificate valid?

Employers in the Netherlands are legally required to adequately train the BHV organisation. The broad wording of this obligation leaves room for interpretation, but organisations such as the Dutch Labour Inspectorate, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment and the NIBHV recommend annual refresher training for BHV officers.

How can I complete a BHV course in one day?

You can complete your BHV course in one day with our E-learning. By completing the assignments in the BHV E-learning before the training, you can fully focus on developing skills and practising during the practical day. You follow the theory online through the E-learning, and the practical training is delivered in one day, so you quickly and effectively obtain your BHV certificate.
