1) About the course
This course is intended for English-speaking students (e. g., ERASMUS+ exchange programme). There are designated subjects for Czech-speaking students – MB180C25 or MB180C25T (MB180C25E is not an equal English version of those previously listed).This course covers basic first aid techniques and procedures with regard to the Czech Republic’s system of emergency services and recommendations adjusted for non-Czech speaking people (such as students, tourists, etc.). For example, Czech speaking people are taught to use traditional national line “155” as the primary emergency telephone number. However, for foreigners, the international number “112” is recommended. Providing appropriate first aid should be one of the basic skills of every citizen has. This obligation arises from laws of the Czech Republic (as well as in most of the other countries). The European Resuscitation Council regularly publishes recommended procedures for resuscitation and first aid, called Guidelines (currently “2021”). This document defines the correct procedures, which should be followed when providing or teaching first aid.

2) Course Versions (MB180C25E vs. MB180C55E)
Our course is offered in two versions, differing only in the examination requirements. The classes are held at the same time and place for both versions (as one teaching group). The course with the code MB180C25E includes only a pass/fail assessment and is worth 2 credits. The course with the code MB180C55E is worth 3 credits and includes both a pass/fail assessment and a final exam. Please note, that some foreign institutions recognize only courses with a final exam for Erasmus students – for those students, we recommend choosing the MB180C55E version.
In both cases, students must complete a weekend class with a pass/fail assessment (according to the requirements listed in SIS). The students enrolled in the course variant with the final exam (MB180C55E) will then in addition need to take a written test covering the course material.

3) Course Duration and Structure
The course, for both versions, is designed to span 24 hours in total. Of these, 18 hours are dedicated to practical sessions during the scheduled class time. The remaining 6 hours are intended for self-study and preparation before the course. This should include activities such as studying English vocabulary related to first aid and practicing it through learning modules. Detailed instructions (description and prepared materials) will be send to enrolled students at the beginning of the semester.

  • The early exam date usually takes place 1-2 weeks after the class sessions, allowing students sufficient time to prepare. The written exam will consist of multiple-choice questions (selecting one correct answer in each question). The test will be held in Room B7 (Zoology Lecture Hall – Viničná 7, 2nd floor opposite the stairs).
